Silver Age goodness,

This review is from: The Doom Patrol Archives, Vol. 2 (DC Archive Editions) (Hardcover)
The Doom Patrol was one of the great lesser known DC series of the Silver Age. A group of "freaks" joined together to form a super-team. The Chief was the wheelchair bound genius leader. Robotman was a human being with his brain trapped in a robot body. Negative Man could cause a radio-energy being to leave his body at the speed of light, but had to keep his body wrapped in bandages to protect people from his radioactive skin. Elasti-Girl could grow really big or really small. (Actually, she not all that "freakish". No more so than any other super-hero, anyway). Besides being considered "outcasts", the Doom Patrol was different than other DC heroes in that they actually had personalities. Robotman and Negative Man often had arguments with each other, and they both had moments when they felt bitter about their situations. This book features Doom Patrol #s 90 to 97. This time around we are introduced to Mento; Elasti-Girl's love interest and Garguax; the alien super-villain. Of course, their "classic" villains General Immortus, Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man and the Brotherhood of Evil return. I think that anyone who is a fan of Silver Age comics should get this book. While it's true that the stories aren't as "sophisticated" as today's comics, they have a charm that most of the current comics can't duplicate.
