Doom Patrol Archives, Volume 1 is a hardcover collection that reprints classic stories of the Doom Patrol as first published by DC Comics in issues of My Greatest Adventure and Doom Patrol, Volume 1. All stories were written by Arnold Drake with artwork by Bruno Premiani. Coloring reconstruction was rendered by Lee Loughridge. The collection was edited by Dale Crain with Nick J. Napolitano as associate editor. This volume shipped to retailers in March, 2002 and carries a cover price of $49.95 per copy (US).
Made up of misfit super-heroes with unusual powers and abilities, the Doom Patrol embarked on and endured some of the most bizarre adventures ever imaginable. Assembled in this hardcover volume are the earliest escapades of Robotman, Negative Man, Elasti-Girl, and the Chief. Reprinted as they originally appeared in the 1960s, this archive edition includes the Doom Patrol's first appearance and origin, as well as their first battles with their greatest adversary, General Immortus, the prehistoric monster menace Dr. Janus, the subterranean Atomic Furies, and the mutant Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man.
