Though Steve Lightle (November 19, 1959 - January 8, 2021) only worked briefly on the Doom Patrol, helping to bring back the title in the 1980s (starting in October, 1987)....

...his 5 issues were pretty memorable, and only make you wish that he could have done more (especially his work on Cliff Steele...the Robotman, as well as introducing readers to Lodestone and Karma!).

...that would later rock the Legion of Super-Heroes to its core.
