The Chief has seen a lot of crazy stuff in his time, but spirits? That's crazy talk.






"Spirit of Osra? Please Rama Kara, you must understand how preposterous that sounds to me and my colleagues. Now if you'll excuse us, my friends Robotman, a human brain in a robot body, Negative Man, who emits and controls a semi-sentient being composed of radio waves, and Elasti-Girl, who can grow to gigantic size and shrink herself to the size of a small insect, have to go fight our archenemies, an evil disembodied brain and a talking gorilla."

Horribly-scanned images from the story "The Nightmare Fighters" from 1965's The Doom Patrol #94 by Arnold Drake and Bob Brown, which was reprinted in Showcase Presents: The Doom Patrol Vol. 1, which is where these horrible scans were horribly-scanned from

Doesn't Kenneth Divine look like Robin Williams?

The mystics and the super geniuses tend to self segregate in comics. You don't see Mr. Fantastic hob nobbing with Dr. Strange.

I SO wish your quote for the Chief could be retroactively added to the comic!

Thank you, Caleb.
