*DC: In the 1980s, it was the habit of DC to slip in previews of new forthcoming series as ‘bonuses’ in the middle of otherwise standard issues. One such was the 26th issue of Superman’s team-up title DC Comics Presents, which featured a self-contained mini-comic with the first appearance of the New Teen Titans. Reviving yesteryear’s moribund collection of sidekicks, Marv Wolfman and George Perez invigorated the limping franchise with new characters, epic storylines, and a more character-based approach strip-mining popular franchises of the day – not least the highly-successful X-Men! This presents the debut not only of the team itself, which became DC’s sales juggernaut, but of three characters who went on to greater things: enigmatic empath Raven, alien space babe Starfire, and Cyborg, who of course has now been retconned into a founder of the Justice League. For the record, the ‘main’ story, a Jim Starlin-drawn Superman/Green Lantern team-up, is pretty nifty, too! This copy of DCP #26 is a cents copy, with no UK price or overstamp, FN/VF at £65. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
