TT # 42 was one of the first comics I ever bought--predating even the Legion by a few months.

Yes, the cover is awesome--and I actually like the border. DC and Marvel both used borders in the early '70s, and I thought they created a striking effect. The frame made the main art stand out while the dramatis personae on the left told you who was who. As a kid who recognized the Titans from their cartoon series, I was immediately drawn in by this instant identification.

As for the story itself, it's been years since I read it, but I remember it being very cool. Giant beetles and salamanders, a trip to the Yucatan on a raft, and Donna getting bitten by a snake (shades of True Grit!) made it a harrowing adventure.

I have that issue. Love it and the cover! (Though Lilith's blonde hair bugs!)

This was the first issue of Teen Titans I ever bought (or rather was bought for me by my sister) and features another awesome Nick Cardy cover -

(I'm not sure how to post the image directly to the thread but maybe someone else can do the honours.)

The story is majorly Mal-centric but for some sad reason he didn't make the cover. [Frown]

These are my favourite two Cardy covers though -

http://www.comics.org/issue/24149/cover/4/?style=default

The first is so awesomly creepy and the second has fantastic composition as well as being exciting and (of course) Mal-centric. [Smile]

P.S. In the little icons at the top of every post - who shares the 'Profile' one with Wonder Girl?

^^^ Are you sure EDE? It looks like a pale-white faced person with no nose. Holding their fist up on the left? It reminds me of Brother Power the Geek for some reason though I know it can't be him.

That was my best guess. I dunno.

A rare teenager use of the word "dig" to mean something other than "understand"!

I wonder if this cover was inspired by the Wicker Man?

I was wondering why the Teen Titans murdered the Scarecrow.
