Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | In 1963, DC Comics published a book with a new kind of superhero team: the Doom Patrol. They were loners, misfits, mistrusted by the public, and led by a genius in a wheelchair. Despite obvious similarities, this team actually came out several months before the X-Men were published by the distinguished competition, which has led to accusations of plagiarism. The Patrol first appeared in "My Greatest Adventure" #80 (June, 1963) and continued appearing in subsequent issues. With #86 (March, 1964), the book was renamed after the team. While the X-Men eventually flourished in the 1970s, initial sales of Doom Patrol died down and the original series ended quickly when the writers decided to go out with a bang and kill them all off. The last issue was numbered #121 (September-October, 1968). |
