Doom Patrol #23

From the Morrison-Case-Hanna creative team that was reshaping DC's "New Format" era, Doom Patrol #23 arrives in June 1989 with a cover that feels more like a crime scene than a superhero splash — snapshots of Crazy Jane, Cliff Steele, and the Negative Man are scattered like collected specimens alongside real pinned butterflies and a Jack of Hearts playing card, with a mysterious figure's boots looming overhead. The story arc is ominously titled "The Butterfly Collector," and Richard Case's cover composition turns the team into pinned curiosities, suggesting someone is cataloguing them for unsettling purposes. It's a genuinely clever piece of visual storytelling that sets a moody, offbeat tone perfectly suited to what Morrison was building with this title.
