Zusatztext "...reflects the anxieties of many living in the world today and continues the kind of mature storytelling Vertigo thrives on."-- Publishers Weekly "Wood and Burchielli gut-wrenchingly portray the chaotic reality of life in a war zone."-- Washington Post "If residents of Manhattan often feel at odds with the rest of the country! the comic book series DMZ magnifies that anxiety with its radical premise."-- The New York Times Informationen zum Autor Brian Wood developed his skills as a comics writer and designer while working a string of internet design jobs. Since then he has created a series of successful comics and graphic novels, most notably DMZ, DEMO, NORTHLANDERS, CHANNEL ZERO and THE COURIERS. In addition to earning him international acclaim, these projects have also resulted in four Eisner award nominations.

Klappentext Originally conceived in the 1960s by the visionary team of writer Arnold Drake and artist Bruno Premiani, the Doom Patrol was reborn a generation later through the singular imagination of a young Scottish author-and the result took American comics in a wholly unexpected direction. In forging their new path, the reborn World's Strangest Heroes left behind almost every vestige of normality. Though they are super-powered beings, and though their foes are bent on world domination, all that is conventional ends there. Shunned as freaks and outcasts, and tempered by loss and insanity, this band of misfits faces threats so mystifying in nature and so corrupted in motive that reality itself threatens to fall apart around them-but it's still all in a day's work for the Doom Patrol. Written by Grant Morrison and featuring art by Richard Case, Ken Steacy, Sean Phillips, Stan Woch and Philip Bond, DOOM PATROL BOOK THREE collects issues #51-63 of the groundbreaking series, as well as the infamous DOOM FORCE SPECIAL #1, concluding Morrison's paradigm-shattering run in true absurdist style!
