American Update: Early New Teen Titans – #1 plus #2 & #10 (First and Second Appearances of Deathstroke)
*DC: One highly-acclaimed series of more recent vintage (by our usual standards) is 1980’s New Teen Titans, in which Marv Wolfman and George Perez took a faded Sixties franchise and revitalised it into DC’s sales powerhouse of the decade. Introducing three brand-new characters – Cyborg, Raven and Starfire – Wolfman & Perez hewed very closely to the X-Men model of angst-ridden young heroes, and scored big points not only with DC’s readers: NTT became the DC Comic even Marvel fans bought! We have issue #1 of this hit series back in stock, but it is overshadowed by issue #2, which introduced long-time nemesis Deathstroke (then known also as the Terminator, until a certain movie franchise objected!), the breakout character who went on to several series of his own, and crossovers into media events such as the ‘Arrow’ TV show. Completing this trifecta is Issue #10, in which Deathstroke made his second appearance. Pictured are issue #1 VF/NM p £35 and issue 2 VF/NM p £100. Issue #10 is on sale at NM p £20. SORRY, #1 & #2 NOW SOLD
