      Out of the Silver Age of Comics came a very different comic book team, featuring a new breed of superheroes. Cast out of society due to their deformities, the Doom Patrol were a group of misfit loners not blessed, but cursed, with unnatural powers. These human oddities--Elasti-Girl, Negative Man, Robotman and the Chief--save the world one strange case at a time. See them take on such equally bizarre villains like the undying criminal mastermind General Immortus, shape-shifting Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man, the Brotherhood of Evil and more! Doom Patrol: The Silver Age Volume One kicks off Arnold Drake and Bruno Premiani's beloved series with tales from The Doom Patrol #96-107, Challengers of the Unknown #48 and The Brave and the Bold #65.
