My Greatest Adventure
Entry updated 27 July 2025. Tagged: Comics, Publication.
US Comic (1955-1964; 2011), published by DC Comics. Monthly. Writers included Arnold Drake and Bob Haney. Artists included Mort Mesklin, Jim Mooney, Ruben Moreira, and Alex Toth. Its unrelated stories, in keeping with the comic's title, were always narrated by their protagonists.
In its early issues, the comic featured the realistic adventures of rugged he-men in exotic locales, similar to the stories then appearing in the men's Magazines of the era. But since this was apparently insufficiently exciting, the stories soon came to involve all of the usual sf suspects – Aliens, Robots, Dinosaurs, and various sorts of Monsters; occasionally characters engaged in Space Flight or Time Travel. As the comic faced declining sales, it was decided in 1963 to introduce a group of Superheroes, the Doom Patrol, and when they proved popular, the comic was renamed The Doom Patrol in 1964 and was henceforth devoted exclusively to their exploits. However, there was a brief revival of the original comic in 2011. [GW]
