RE: Importance & Doom
When characters were companions, the creative were inspirations, the turning pages were as crucially warm as a hug, & the four color subdued a lonely earth for a time, is when a comic book saved a life on separate occasions.
From pre-Vertigo to the streaming vertical & horizontal of the screen, my run-in with the Doom Patrol is forever entangled with some of the most consequential moments in my life. Curating a selection of themes reflecting from the comic, the show, the characters, and the times made for great mindfulness. As being de-humanized and invisibility are high costs to bear for clarity.
This mixtape is equally a thank you/love letter as it is a reminiscence.
