Creature Commandos

The Creature Commandos are a fictional DC Comics team of military superhumans originally set in World War II. The original team was introduced in Weird War Tales #93 (November 1980), created by J. M. DeMatteis and Pat Broderick. The team was composed of a human team leader, a werewolf, a vampire, Frankenstein's monster, and a gorgon.

The modern team first appeared in their own miniseries Creature Commandos #1–8 (May–December 2000); this version was written by Tim Truman and drawn by Scot Eaton.

Asked how the Creature Commandos came about, writer J. M. DeMatteis recalled:

DeMatteis did not stay on the feature very long, and his replacement was Robert Kanigher, who wrote the series until Weird War Tales was canceled in 1983.
