“Red Pawn”

This 1988 DC Special brings together two of the publisher's most unconventional teams in one oversized issue, with a cover by Erik Larsen and Bob Lewis that throws both rosters into furious collision — a yellow-costumed woman surrounded by crackling energy, a caped figure, a hulking werewolf-like creature, and armed combatants including a gun-wielding man and a white-haired fighter all tangled in a chaotic brawl against a crumbling stone backdrop. Writers John Ostrander and Paul Kupperberg team up to craft "Red Pawn," promising the kind of high-stakes clash that only happens when the Doom Patrol and the Suicide Squad end up on the same battlefield. If you've ever wanted to see two teams of misfits and anti-heroes pushed to their limits in a single story, this special delivers exactly that energy.
