Doom Patrol Volume 1: Crawling from the Wreckage (Paperback) 2004

 DOOM PATROL Volume 1: Crawling from the Wreckage Graphic Novel.

Is this real or isn't it?

It's a simple question, but it isn't a simple world - not anymore. Not for the members of the Doom Patrol - the World's Strangest Heroes.

Originally concieved in the 1960s, the Doom Patrol was reborn in 1989, bursting out of the utterly unique imagination of writer Grant Morrison and heralding a new direction for American comics.

Following that direction, thev World's Strangest Heroes have left behind almost every vestige of normality. Though they are superpowered beings, and their foes are bent on world domination, all that is conventional ends there. Shunned as freaks and outcasts, and tempered by loss and insanity, the Doom Patrol faces threats mystifying in nature, corrupted beyond any sensible motives - threats that must,at all costs, be defeated.

"The world need the Doom Patrol. Needs us more than ever. Don't you see? There are areas in which only we are qualified to operate. When the rationalworld breaks down, we can cope, because we've been there, in ourselves. We have known madness, and delirium, and we are no longer afraid.
