*DC: We kick off our first week of releases from the Bute Collection with a relatively modern example. The New Teen Titans debuted in a 16 page insert in DC Comics Presents #26 (October 1980), in a story which featured the first appearances of Cyborg, Starfire & Raven. (The main feature was a Superman & Green Lantern story by Marv Wolfman and Jim Starlin.) Wolfman also penned the Titans debut, drawn by George Perez, a team which brought the Titans to prominence as one of the great comics of the 1980s. The Bute Collection copy is a pence printed glossy and colourful edition, with sharp corners, tight staples and white pages. A faint line can be seen in certain light down the centre of the comic, but is not a crease and looks like a printing issue; in no way does this spoil the copy.
