On this day in 1987, the Suicide Squad came together in their own title -- at the bequest of Amanda Waller, who doesn't take no for an answer. John Ostrander, Luke McDonnell and Karl Kesel brought together Rick Flag, Bronze Tiger, Captain Boomerang, Deadshot and more for a mission where not everyone would make it back alive.

November 1988. A slick new costume courtesy of artist Marshall Rogers had elevated Deadshot (Floyd Lawton) to about the third rank of Batman villains before he was "borrowed" by John Ostrander for the new SUICIDE SQUAD book, of which Deadshot became a core character. That led in turn to this four-issue miniseries in 1988–89. While this first issue suggests that the series will be a Deadshot solo adventure in the established SUICIDE SQUAD vein, it is in fact an extraordinarily brutal, almost nihilistic crime drama, probably the darkest thing Ostrander and his late wife Kim Yale ever wrote (demanding CWs for CSA, among other things).
The story: Belle Reve prison therapist Marnie Herrs, who's gotten way too close to her patient, becomes determined to figure out what makes Floyd Lawton tick, just as Lawton's estranged ex-wife warns him that their young son Eddie has been kidnapped. As Marnie delves into the ugly secrets of Lawton's wealthy family — including the possibility that Lawton may have murdered his own brother and deliberately crippled his father — Lawton sets out to find his son, determined to kill anyone and everyone involved in the boy's abduction. No one comes out unscathed. Anyone expecting a tough-guy-redeemed-by-fatherhood outcome is in for a very rough ride — the story is compellingly told, but even by crime drama standards, the level of violence is eye-opening and the finale is very bleak. Also, despite the cover, Batman is seen only in a couple of panels in the first issue as part of a recap of Deadshot's file; this is not a Batman story, and Batman doesn't otherwise appear.
