DC Finest: Doom Patrol: The End Sanctifies the Means

When the going gets weird, the weird double down! DC Finest: Doom Patrol: The End Sanctifies the Means collects Rachel Pollack's complete, boundary-pushing Vertigo run--a fractured epic of shape-shifting magicians, sex ghosts, pirate robot brains, and a war over the very idea of identity itself.

The World's Strangest Heroes stretch the bounds of sanity beyond all reason in this era-defining collection of the seminal Vertigo series from World Fantasy Award-winning writer Rachel Pollack!

Collecting Doom Patrol (vol. 2) #64-87, Doom Patrol Annual #2, and the Spooks Return Satisfied story from Vertigo Jam #1, DC Finest: Doom Patrol: The End Sanctifies the Means follows Cliff Steele, Dorothy Spinner, Kate Godwin, George and Marion, and the disembodied head of Niles Caulder as they tumble down multiple rabbit holes of reality in their never-ending quest to achieve Doom Patrol Normal!

About the Author
This volume centers the work of Rachel Pollack (Doom Patrol, New Gods, Vertigo Tarot), an award-winning novelist, poet, and acclaimed tarot scholar whose Vertigo run pushed superhero comics into realms of gender, mysticism, and metaphysics.

Artists featured include Richard Case (Doom Patrol), Linda Medley (Justice League International), Ted McKeever (The Extremist, Enginehead), and Scot Eaton (Swamp Thing, X-Men). Their avant-garde layouts and expressive character work bring Pollack's surreal scripts to life, supported by an elite cover gallery from Brian Bolland (Batman: The Killing Joke), Kyle Baker (Plastic Man), and Bob Fingerman (Minimum Wage).
