Creature Commandos
The Creature Commandos is the name of several military special forces groups appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Co-created by writer J. M. DeMatteis and artist Pat Broderick, the team first appeared in Weird War Tales #93 (November 1980). The Creature Commandos are a special forces group consisting of individuals either resembling or are in some way a monster or robotic entity. Led by, in most instances, a seasoned human general officer, the team tackles missions that are often fantastical or too dangerous for ordinary soldiers. The team has been adapted into a HBO Max animated series of the same name (2024–present), which served as the first installment in the DC Universe (DCU) series of films and television shows.
