That's what a Doom Patrol book should be about, IMHO...Part dysfunctional family, part 50's sci-fi.

Most teenagers don't want comics, period. Those weird ones like me wanted Artsy Fartsy. Everyone else wanted Lee or Mcfarlane...
The different Kewl.

wow.  that informs me that i must have been even weirder than anybody that read comics at the time Dave.  i was a teenager then too.  but, i didn't want the different kewl, artsy fartsy, or Lee/Mcfarlane.  i wanted traditional drawn/story driven, old fashioned super-hero comicbooks.  considering the time and market of the industry, i guess wanting that was extremely weird of me.

Ha! What books would that have been back then? I really wish I could remember what my entire monthly collection would have been in, lets say, 1991 (yikes! 20 years ago!)...
Doom Patrol
Hellblazer
Sandman
Shade
some Batman books...
Heck, I think I did buy the McFarlane Spiderman for a couple of books (in 1990)...

At that point, I was 17 and was a pretentious artsy fartsy jackass (still am). I was already pretty much done with most Marvel & DC superhero books. Although, every now and then something would come up that got me buyin'. Like Parobeck's Batman Animated and Allred's Madman for instance (in 1992)...

X-men #1 was 1991
Spawn #1 was 1992...

For me, I had spent from birth until the late 80's reading assorted Super Hero books. By the time it was 1990, I was done. Was that because of my age, or the content of the books? I just know that by the 90's, I'd rather have someone doing something weird with something like Sandman, then having Batman with a broken back or any Image founder's book...

Question: What issue of JB's Doom Patrol has Elasti-Girl's origin?

Thanks!

Looks exactly the same as my comics buying pattern of the time,
