Doom Patrol #81

From the Vertigo imprint comes this 1994 installment of Doom Patrol, written by Rachel Pollack with interior art by Ted McKeever — and a wildly energetic cover by Kyle Baker that sets the tone perfectly. The cover plunges you straight into chaotic combat: two grotesque, orange-hued figures grapple fiercely, one driving what appears to be a massive ornate weapon or staff downward while a ghostly third figure lurks in the background. That wry tagline — "It's that time of the month again…" — promises the book's signature blend of absurdist humor and genuine weirdness, all wrapped up in a story cheekily titled "Two Mad Men With Foreheads and Boots.
