The World's Strangest Heroes are back in an Archive Edition collecting DOOM PATROL #90-97 (originally published in 1964-1965). Robotman, Elasti-Girl, Negative Man and "The Chief" take on classic villains including The Brotherhood of Evil, the Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man, Dr. Tyme, Mento, General Immortus, and more! Plus: an introduction by comics legend Roy Thomas.

The DOOM PATROL was certainly one of the more unusual and most fondly remembered of DCs 1960s titleswith more of a focus on the personality of the characters themselves. In this third volume we see a new unofficial member, a wedding and a very early DC crossover with The Challengers of the Unknown!
