Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Ομάδα Αυτοκτονίας" in Greek language version.
In "The Three Waves of Doom", a story that filled The Brave and the Bold #25, writer Robert Kanigher and artist Ross Andru introduced the Suicide Squad, a band of World War II-era military misfits.
Nobody really believes that a hero will get killed in their own book, so it can be hard to bring tension to the fight between good and evil. But when every member of the team is as unimportant to the publisher as they are to the fictional setting in which they exist, death really can be around the corner. As the Suicide Squad book killed somebody in just about every story arc, readers, as so often happens, got hooked on the idea that nobody was safe.
