Doom Patrol #90

Doom Patrol #90 was published by DC Comics in September 1964, during the Silver Age of comic books. It serves as a significant entry in the original run of the series, which was created by writers Arnold Drake and Bob Haney along with artist Bruno Premiani. The title was born from a desire to feature a group of outcasts and misfits who viewed their powers as a burden rather than a gift, a distinct departure from the more idealistic superhero archetypes typical of the era.

The issue features the signature collaborative work of Drake and Premiani, whose gritty, character-driven approach helped define the Doom Patrol's unique atmosphere. The design and narrative style focused on internal conflict and unconventional science fiction threats, reflecting an editorial push at DC to experiment with darker, more complex thematic elements. While not as commercially dominant as the Justice League at the time, the series was well-regarded by readers for its quirky tone and remains a cornerstone of DC’s mid-century experimental output.
