Doom Patrol Vol 2 74

"I'm just a box, Kate. A goddamn box that thinks its a person. What makes me any better than those things lying on the tables?"

- Cliff Steele

"Bootleg Steele" is the title to the seventy-fourth issue of the second Doom Patrol ongoing comic book series published by DC Comics. The story was written by Rachel Pollack with artwork by Linda Medley and inks by Tom Sutton. It was colored by Stuart Chaifetz and lettered by John Workman. The story was edited by Lou Stathis with Julie Rottenberg as assistant editor. This issue shipped with a January, 1994 cover date and carries a cover price of $1.95 per copy (US).
