About this Collection

This volume collects the second half of the original Silver Age Doom Patrol run, featuring the team's adventures from the mid-1960s. Written by Arnold Drake and drawn by Bruno Premiani, these stories showcase the misfit heroes—Robotman, Negative Man, and Elasti-Girl—led by the enigmatic Chief as they battle bizarre threats like the Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man and the Brotherhood of Evil. The collection includes issues from the original series, continuing the groundbreaking blend of superhero action and surreal, character-driven drama that defined the Doom Patrol's early legacy.

"The Doom Patrol" kicks off with a striking blend of melancholy and mission, as the enigmatic Chief gathers three outcasts—each marked by a near-fatal ordeal—into a team forged not from power, but from shared survival. Written by Arnold Drake and Bob Haney, with Bruno Premiani handling both pencils and inks, the story unfolds with a quiet intensity as the team is sent to investigate an alien spacecraft carrying a dangerous super-weapon, unaware their path will soon cross with the formidable General Immortus. Evan "Doc" Shaner’s cover captures the eerie, otherworldly tone perfectly.
