Wonderful art by the Italian artist \u003cstrong\u003eBruno Premiani\u003c\/strong\u003e, whose work elevated many DC titles well above the average.

Still, could he give the DP the unique quality it needed -- a quality I couldn't define myself? Bruno's first penciled pages told me we had truly lucked out. What he had recognized was that these super-heroes must be as human as possible. He captured that spirit from page one and sustained it for 42 issues: fabulous powers and fantastic enemies notwithstanding, The Chief, Rita, Larry and Cliff remained real people.\"\n\nOne of the strangest superhero teams of all time, The Doom Patrol starred in a very successful Vertigo series in the 1980s, written by Grant Morrison.\n\nCollects \u003cem\u003eMy Greatest Adventure\u003c\/em\u003e #80-85, \u003cem\u003eThe Doom Patrol\u003c\/em\u003e #86-121 and \u003cem\u003eThe Brave and The Bold\u003c\/em\u003e #65, 1964-68.\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eRush Service and International shipping could require an additional charge.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DC Comics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59639687479582,"sku":"DOOMPH","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/doomph-doom-patrol-silver-age-omni-book.jpg?v=1784472026","url":"https:\/\/shop.budsartbooks.com\/products\/doom-patrol-silver-age-omnibus","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
