Doom Patrol #1 – VF/NM – 2004 (DC)

VF/NM — Bagged and boarded. John Byrne takes on the World's Strangest Heroes in a back-to-basics relaunch that picks up directly from the "Tenth Circle" JLA arc. The classic lineup — Robotman, Elasti-Girl, Negative Man, and Niles Caulder — restored to their Silver Age roots, with Byrne handling full art duties. A clean entry point for fans of the original team who found later runs too far off the rails.
