quote:Originally posted by Leap Year Lord: I can still buy #1 for the first time, anyway; I still don't own a copy. I *read* it fairly early on in a mass market paperback book that reprinted 1-3 (chopped up page-wise, black and white).
The back cover features the Titans' heads against stars, like #8.
That book was my very first exposure to the Titans! Gosh - I had completely forgotten about it. I wonder where it is now?
My first exposure to pretty much the entire DCU was in black and white like that book actually, because that's how Australia reprinted DC comics. They did it totally randomly too so you might buy a comic that had the Titans on the cover and then you'd get an Omega Men or Atari Force or something as a back-up? Or you'd buy a JLA issue and there would be a Flash or Wonder Woman back-up. Murray Comics (as they were known here) were over-sized.
What's ironic is that I read and enjoyed so much of the DCU in black and white back then but now colour is so important to me - I would never buy one of those Showcase Essentials for example. Funny how things change.
