My Greatest Adventure #81

In "The Nightmare Maker, Part 1," the Doom Patrol faces eerie, otherworldly beasts during two separate missions, prompting a news report from Dr. Janus about a meteorite that struck Earth fifteen years prior—carrying what eyewitnesses claimed was a living entity. As Automaton (Robotman) listens, his memory of that event begins to fray, hinting at a past he can’t quite recall. Written by Arnold Drake and Bob Haney, with art and inks by Bruno Premiani, and a cover by Drake and Premiani, this 1963 issue blends mystery and unease in a story that quietly sets the stage for something deeper.
