Doom Patrol #50

Doom Patrol #50 marks a milestone fiftieth issue for Grant Morrison's run on DC's strangest super-team, arriving in December 1991 with a striking cover by Simon Bisley. That cover art is itself a bold design choice — a narrow vertical strip of imagery pressed against vast white space, showing a tangle of figures caught in what looks like a chaotic collapse of debris and bodies. The distressed, almost visceral energy of Bisley's linework makes even that slim column of imagery feel genuinely unsettling, a fitting visual for a series that has always pushed against the boundaries of conventional superhero comics.
