The Doom Patrol #91

Looming over the scene, a row of enormous green-faced alien heads — the minions of Garguax — declare the team prisoners, setting an immediate tone of overwhelming threat in this November 1964 issue of DC's self-described "World's Strangest Heroes." The cover by Bob Brown shows the Doom Patrol — Robotman in his orange chassis, the blue-skinned Negative Man, and a woman in red — scrambling in chaos while a yellow-costumed figure identified as Mento taunts them with a treacherous offer to abandon their teammates. Arnold Drake's script and Bruno Premiani's interior art promise the kind of weird, high-stakes adventure that made this team a genuinely compelling corner of the Silver Age DC universe.
