The 40 Years of Comics Project - Day 1470: The Doom Patrol #116, December 1967


Another misleading cover, in that this character shows up in the last 5 pages or so, and doesn't really get into it with the Doom Patrol. He does beat on them slightly, which is weird given who this actually is (I'm not telling!).

The three nuclear mutants end up having to dive into Halley's comet to destroy it from within, which I think means that, canonically, Halley's comet does not exist in the DC universe. Well, reboots aside, I suppose, though I tend to think of the events of the Doom Patrol series as having taken place in all versions of DC reality, just as the team themselves seem to transcend reboots.

Not much else to say about this one. It was okay. But we're nearing the end. Only 5 issues remain of the original run.
