Doom Patrol #51

Grant Morrison, Richard Case, and Stan Woch's Doom Patrol #51 arrives with a cover that cleverly channels the look of a Silver Age spy comic — penciled by Mike Sekowsky and inked by Frank Giacoia — spotlighting Yankee Doodle, "Master of Disguise," whose transformation from mild-mannered Prof. John Dandy, archaeologist, is laid out in eye-catching sequential panels across the top. Below, a chaotic brawl erupts among a group of figures, with speech bubbles teasing a delicious identity puzzle: "The boss is being attacked by the — boss?" and "One of them must be Yankee Doodle!" The cover also promises an extra Mr. Nobody Christmas story, making this an unusually festive and spy-thriller-flavored installment in Morrison's boundary-pushing run.
