Publication history

The title was originally an anthology series with adventure stories told in the first person narrative. Over time the types of stories changed from simple adventure to science fiction. With issue #80 (June 1963), the anthology format was dropped and replaced with stories featuring the Doom Patrol. Issue #85 was the last to bear the My Greatest Adventure title; the series was renamed The Doom Patrol going forward from issue #86.

Issues #80-85 were reprinted as part of The Doom Patrol Archives, Vol. 1 (2002, ISBN 1563897954).

A reference to My Greatest Adventure appears in Teen Titans Go #28. When the Titans and Doom Patrol put together a birthday party for Beast Boy, members of the Doom Patrol tell the Titans some of their past adventures when Beast Boy was a member, including when they fought Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man. Page 10-12 retells the story, and features a mock cover of My Greatest Adventure.

In the latest Teen Titans regular series (issue 36) the formerly insane Steve Dayton is shown as slowly recovering, but still addicted to his helmet. While under a creative streak induced by the device he starts working on an autobiography, mostly based on his Doom Patrol years, which he plans to call My Greatest Adventure.
