Doom Patrol #111 (On Sale: March 7, 1967) sports a Bob Brown cover.Inside the cover story is "Zarox-13, Emperor of the Cosmos" written by Doom Patrol creator Arnold Drake (get well soon Arnold!) and drawn by Bruno Premiani. Zarox-13, Garguax's criminal superior from his home planet comes to Earth with his followers. The Doom Patrol attempts to trick him into believing that Earth possesses an unconquerable high-technology civilization, but Garguax intervenes to expose the ruse.
The backup story is "Neg Man's Last Road" also by Arnold Drake and Bruno Permiani. Negative Man becomes a pawn in Dr. Death's scheme to seize control of the U.S. government by driving its leaders to madness and suicide. We need Dr. Death more than ever today.

Who are the Doom Patrol?
The Doom Patrol first appeared in 1963, when the DC title My Greatest Adventure, a supernatural anthology title, was being converted to a superhero format. The task assigned writer Arnold Drake was to create a team that fit both formats. With fellow writer Bob Haney and artist Bruno Premiani, he created the Doom Patrol, a team of superpowered misfits regarded as freaks by the world at large. It first appeared in My Greatest Adventure #80, June 1963. The series was such a success that My Greatest Adventure was officially retitled The Doom Patrol beginning with issue #86.
