A tense confrontation takes center stage on Jim Aparo's cover, where a gun-wielding figure warns Robotman that "your team can call it quits" while blonde-haired Valentina Vostock is declared under arrest — the rest of the New Doom Patrol visible and on edge behind her. The dramatic cover blurb "The End of the Doom Patrol!" makes clear that Paul Kupperberg and Joe Staton's "Defection!" pushes this ragtag team to a genuine breaking point. A sharp, suspense-driven chapter in DC's 1977 Showcase run that fans of super-team drama won't want to skip.
