Doom Patrol #86, homage to X-Men #4

Seventh in the series - just imagine that, in 1960, Martin Goodman decides that comics have no future and closes Marvel down, forcing Lee and Kirby to seek work at National. And what if, after a couple of years producing back-up science fiction, war and monster stories for DC's anthologies, editor Murray Boltinoff (unsatisfied with the initial submission from Arnold Drake and Bruno Premiani) asks Stan and Jack to see if they can do anything with the idea of the Doom Patrol?

This time - former Doom Patrol foes General Immortus and (from this continuity, anyway) Multi-Man join forces with The Brain, Monsieur Mallah, and Madame Rouge -- The Brotherhood Of Evil! Can the DP survive?

Adapted from the cover to X-Men #4, by Jack Kirby and either George Roussos or Paul Reinman, depending on which source you find the most credible. And yes, I cheated a bit by asking Stephen to use the later Perez designs for the Brain and Madame Rouge.
