Page "Doom Patrol" Paragraph 14

Morrison left the book with issue # 63, and Rachel Pollack took over writing the book the next issue.

Pollack's first issue was also the first under the new Vertigo imprint of DC Comics ( although the trade paperback editions of Morrison's work do bear the imprint, the original issues did not ).

Returning characters for Rachel Pollack's run included Cliff Steele, Niles Caulder ( kept alive by the nanobots, but reduced to a disembodied head, usually kept on a tray filled with ice ), and Dorothy Spinner.

Pollack's run had Dorothy as a primary member of the Patrol ; she brought her imaginary friends to her aid in combat.

Overall, Pollack's run dealt with issues such as the generation gap, humanity, identity, transgenderism, bisexuality, and borrowed elements from Judaism and Kabbalah in the last few issues.

The angel Akatriel is used as a major character in the last four issues.
