I just received my copy of the Michel Fiffe Portfolio in the mail and I like it so much, I decided to share some of the drawings from it right here!

One of my favorites from the portfolio, is Fiffe’s drawing of the original Doom Patrol. Introduced in My Greatest Adventure #80 from 1963, the original lineup was comprised of the wheelchair bound Chief and his super-powered “rejects” Robotman, Negative Man, and Elasti-Girl. Interestingly, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby would introduce the X-Men a few months later for Marvel, which also featured a wheelchair bound team leader, Professor X. It’s possible that Stan Lee knew about the Doom Patrol even before they ever saw print, since so many artists at the time worked for both companies. There’s no substantial proof that he stole DC’s idea when he created the X-Men, but I think it’s fun to think that he did!

Michel Fiffe is his own one-man Marvel Bullpen, writing, drawing, and self-publishing his monthly comic, Copra. The newest issue is the double-sized anniversary #25 and in addition to Fiffe’s work, it features two short stories by Tim Hamilton & Benjamin Marra, plus pin-ups by Chuck Forsman, Sloane Leong, Matthew Allison, Kat Roberts, Paul Maybury, and Jeffrey Brown!

Fiffe has also worked on Marvel’s All-New Ultimates and a really cool Typhoid Mary/Daredevil love story in the recent Secret Wars: Secret Love.
