This was fun and often hilarious, but for the most part because, well, these comics are very obviously children of their time.Cool cats, check! Robin-O and his groovy friends - Wonder Chick, Twinkletoes and Gillhead - the most terrif Teen Titans - are on one faberoo adventure after the other! Like go-go-go!Seriously, though, it is fun, but the "cool teenage slang" is very dated and I doubt anyone EVER talked like that. The adventures are very generic - some weird bad guy poses a threat to teenag...
A groovy time in the swinging 60s with America's teen phenoms. We know they're teens because they like the Beatles.
Ridiculously stupid fun. Wolfman & Perez may have turned the Teen Titans into a real classic in the '80s, but these late '60s stories from Bob Haney are so terrible they're great. Many of the stories have a "teens vs. adults" flair to them, and Haney's conception of what teenagers sounded like is kind of stunning. (From the first story: "Fellows, that note's a PHONY! No teen-ager would use the word 'MUSIC' in a hip language message... They'd use 'JIVE!'")Also impressive is the one where the Tita...
Tomo 1, creo de sólo dos, dedicado a los Teen Titans de Showcase Presents.
Definitely a product of its time, Teen Titans has glimmers of hope amid some oddball villains. The stories get better when we see the characters actually have issues with each other and less of the sexist chat so prevalent in the first stories in regards to Winder Girl. However the nods to the Batman tv series are always enjoyable :)
Bob Haney's dialogue has to be read, in context, to be believed. These stories mostly play out like Scooby Doo episodes, with all the charm implied and none of the cheapness. Also, Nick Cardy's beautiful art. The Silver Age at its best.
All I have to say is, "Munching Mantas! Citrus Fruit! Look at all that vitamin C!".
I'm tempted to say that these were the most diabolically bad comics I've ever read, but I've a feeling that in a different mood, or maybe just in smaller quantities, I might have thought that they were the best!In context they make sense: this is a teenage version of the Batman tv show, with all the corny dialogue and goofy villains that that would make you expect.Out of context it's appalling stuff: the dialogue is excruciating, the villains idiotic, and the whole thing intensely embarrassing.T...
Teen titans ah this brings back memories. the book is just about all the differents Adventures that the titans have and all of the Various villains that they faced against
I will read anything in comic book form. But if you had to make me choose between Marvel and DC, I'd have to side with the Distinguished Competition. That being said, DC has never been perfect. It's had just as many hits as it has had misses. One thing that Marvel destroyed DC on was how it published the generation gap of the late 1960s. The very book that I am reviewing today is an excellent case in point in how the elder statesmen writers of DC had trouble relating to the teens of the Vietnam
Good stories, great art, affordable format, and they're good for kids -- what more could you ask for?
