Doom Patrol #11

The cover of this August 1988 DC issue splits dramatically down the middle, promising double the threat: on the left, a massive armored villain looms over a struggling flame-bodied hero, while on the right, a glowing yellow figure with a star-field torso stands triumphant over a fallen blonde woman. The bold title banner — "Double Trouble for the Doom Patrol!" — sets the stakes perfectly, and Erik Larsen and Gary Martin's cover art delivers two distinct menaces with real visual punch. With Paul Kupperberg writing and Larsen on interior art as well, issue #11 looks like a genuinely rough day for DC's most resilient misfits.
