Gosh! I haven't seen that cover in forever. Definitely an excellent one!
And just think - how awesome would it be if you actually knew George Perez and he wrote you letters with awesome drawings like that on them!

I like it because this is when Wally's parents are a nice normal couple and not a Manhunter and an alcoholic.

Is that a rock Wally's holding?
I don't remember the story at all, but it is a great cover. (Love the postscript!)

Somehow, when I try to draw illustrations to go in my letters, they never turn out that pretty.

No wonder Wally needed money. He had hired George Perez to illustrate his family correspondence.

I thought it was some kind of eraser. Not that I would want to get one near a Perez original, myself....

[/b]That's what I thought too, but I don't know why he'd be holding one when apparently using a pen.

Love the movie poster feel of this cover.
Active LMB character is still Beast Boy.

George Perez can of course do no wrong but I prefer the more 'story' oriented style covers that he does to this very static one.
It's well drawn/painted but not one of my faves of his. The cover of NTT #1 (vol. 1) is almost exactly the same but does the job better too I think.

I remember LOVING this cover. I still do although looking at it now, it had flaws.
Even so, a great way to begin the Baxter series.

Nice cover. I recently reread the whole Trigon saga and didn't care for it at all. A lot of Wolfman's old TT stories didn't age well for me.

The cover looks very "staged," particularly Nightwing's pose.

Certainly not one of my favorite group splash covers. Seems a little unfinished.

This thread begs the question, "Was there ever a bad Teen Titans cover?"
Beauty's where you find it. Not just where you bump and grind it.

That Titans/Outsiders cover....I don't get it....two superhero teams on the same cover....but they're not fighting each other?? Must be one of those chronicler's errors ;P

They're totally fighting!
Terra obviously made all those earth-monsters!
And see how Black Lightning is about to jam a ligntning bolt right into Raven's face? She's all like 'Nooooo...'
And Katana just totally made snake-sushi out of Garfield, check out that weapon arc!

They fought in the issue ... The New Teen Titans half of the cross over IIRC ... until Terra recognized her brother ... in the same costume no less ... and then had some splaining to do since she told Gar she made her costume herself.
I find this cover especially delicious! mmmmm

The only Batman I ever really enjoyed (besides the Sixties "mod" version, of course) was the one in the Outsiders book. So glad Katanna is still around with the Birds. She was fab, too.
