“The Secret Origin of the Doom Patrol!”

DC's 1987 Secret Origins Annual #1 spotlights the Doom Patrol in all their strange glory, with cover art by John Byrne and Ed Hannigan showcasing both the old and new incarnations of the team side by side. On the left, a white-clad woman charges forward alongside a suited older gentleman representing the classic lineup, while the right side features the modern roster — a woman in red, a caped figure, and a fiery flier — all anchored by the commanding gold-armored Robotman surging front and center. Written by Paul Kupperberg with John Byrne on art, this annual also promises a Captain Comet bonus story, making it a satisfying double feature for fans of DC's more unconventional heroes.
