Description
Eleventh 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 romance 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: In issue 87, Eclipso summoned the monstrous Solomon Grundy from the parallel world of Earth 2 to battle the Doom Patrol - and ever since, The Chief has been attempting to find a way to keep tabs on this mysterious other dimension. When an experiment to create a portal to Earth 2 goes awry, Robotman, Negative Man and Elasti-Girl are throwna across dimesions and find themselves prisoners of Clea, Queen of Atlantis!

Can the Doom Patrol defeat the villainess and return home - or will Clea use the Chief's portal to invade and conquer Earth 1? Find out - inside!

As ever, Stephen Baskerville did a fantastic job adapting Jack Kirby's original cover!

Really great as you can see the weight of the descision manifest as physically in Robotman's pose a lot better here than on Iron Man's thick armor.
