365 Days of DC House Ads, Day 151: Doom doom doom doom doom, doom doom do DOOM, DOOM doom do-doom, DOOM do-doom doom doooom, doom doom dooom, do-do-DOOOM!


House ad for Showcase #94 (August-September 1977); printed in World's Finest Comics #246 (August-September 1977)

I know that most fans are aware of the coincidence of a team of super-powered misfits headed by a wheelchair-bound leader debuting at both Marvel (The X-Men) and DC (The Doom Patrol) within a handful of months of each other...

Right: Cover of My Greatest Adventure (1955 series) #80 [The Doom Patrol] (June 1963), pencils and inks by Bruno Premiani, letters by Joe Letterese

...but has anybody commented that both made their return as "all-new" and "all-different" in issues numbered 94?

The mind, she boggles.
