However, the team did receive a series of guest appearances in various DC titles, such as Superman Family (in a three part arc in the Supergirl feature that was intended for the recently canceled Super-Team Family), DC Comics Presents (teaming up with Superman in a story which revealed that Vostok's powers had changed to match Larry Trainor's exactly), and Supergirl. Kupperberg said this was most likely due to poor sales, as even in the months prior to the DC Implosion he heard no word of a new Doom Patrol series. This new version of the team did not receive its own series following its three-issue tryout. I was young and inexperienced and new to writing, with about two years under my belt before getting the gig." The original group were outsiders and freaks, while my new guys were just comic-book superheroes. Kupperberg has since said he is not proud of the reboot, remarking that" (I was) missing the point of the Doom Patrol. Kupperberg opted to create a new lineup because he wanted to respect the story in which the Doom Patrol met their deaths, and was inspired by Len Wein and Dave Cockrum's then-recent "all-new, all-different X-Men".
Editor Paul Levitz instructed Kupperberg and Staton to do a Doom Patrol feature. DC was then lining up features for the Showcase revival-the series was initially an anthology that would debut new characters who could springboard into their own series if they proved sufficiently popular, and Showcase #94 was the first new issue of the series in almost seven years. Writer Paul Kupperberg, a longtime Doom Patrol fan, and artist Joe Staton introduced a new team in Showcase #94 (August–September 1977). A proper Doom Patrol revival did not occur until 1977, nine years after the original's demise. A few years later, three more issues appeared, reprints of earlier issues (#89, #95 and #90 appeared as #122, #123 and #124 respectively). He finished the script only out of friendship for Boltinoff. According to the writer, he was replaced with the editor because he had just resigned over a pay dispute and moved to Marvel Comics. Artist Bruno Premiani and editor Murray Boltinoff appeared at the beginning and the end of the story, asking fans to write to DC to resurrect Doom Patrol, although the latter was supposed to have been Arnold Drake. This was the first time in comic book history that a cancelled title was concluded with the death of its cast. Drake killed off the entire Doom Patrol in the final issue, Doom Patrol #121 (September–October 1968) where Doom Patrol sacrificed their lives to Madame Rouge and General Zahl to save the small fishing village of Codsville, Maine. As the popularity of the book waned, the publisher cancelled it.
