Doom Patrol (1964) 108

By Arnold Drake and Bruno Premiani
Dec 1966

Kid Disaster

Part 1 - Mento arrives in the sub atomic world and rescues Elasti-Girl

Part 2 - Robotman and Negative Man are captured by Ultimax (aka the Brain) and Garguax. Mento suffers the same fate at the hands of Abu Hallam (aka M. Mallah).

Part 3 - Elasti-Girl is captured by Madame Rouge. The Chief sends Beast Boy after the Doom Patrol but he arrives just in time to find them all dead.

There are a few humorous moments here but this isn't great writing. The title doesn't make much sense. I understand that they probably didn't want the title to give too much away but still…

I like the ongoing story that has flowed through these past 3 issues and continues for at least one more. Drake and Premiani lose points because some of the chapters (like this one) feel incomplete but they get massive points for attempting such a story in this scale in the mid-1960s.
