Margie Spratt is, of course, a creation of our beloved Bob Rozakis.

Guess who's not a Robin Rooter? His former main squeeze, Lori Elton. Their final break up wasn't pretty.

But first:

The Boy Is My Face Ever Red Department!

Earlier, I posted that Duela telling Dick that she was leaving Hudson a few issues earlier was her last appearance for years. I forgot all about her career as Card Queen. Holy triple cross, Batman!

It turns out that the Raven (not that Raven) was actually working for the the organized crime gang MAZE. They recruited Duela to become a new super heroine in New Carthage. She used tricks from a deck of cards - you know, like tricked out diamonds, hearts, clubs, and spades to stop the bad guys. Thing is, one of the bad guys always got away with the loot. She was supposed to let the bad guy get away and the loot was to be redirected to MAZE. A clever scheme. But, Duela was really dropping clues for Robin all the while. Clues that helped him deduce the location of the Maze headquarters.

So check me out, fact checkers. I'm now of the belief that Detective Comics #483 was Duela's last appearance before slipping into limbo. The issue also marked the end of our beloved Bob Rozakis's run on the Robin feature.

So back to Dick and Lori. Robin borrowed a Whirley Bat from Batman for another mid air battle with the Raven. It turned out that the Raven was actually the dude that Lori had dumped Dick for. Robin decided to expose him in his Dick Grayson identity, on campus, right in front of Lori.

Dave Corbie: Listen, Grayson how many times have I got to tell you to leave Lori and me alone.

Lori: Please, Dave, don't make a scene. It only encourages him.

Dick: Don't worry, Lori -- I don't need encouragement. I just want to tell you a couple of things about your boyfriend here. Then I'll leave you alone - ALL ALONE!

Dick drops the bad news - including the tell tale fact that a Corbie is a Raven. The boys fight. Dick knocks Dave out. The cops show up to haul him off. Lori cries and holds out her hands to Dick. He gives her a stoney stare down, doesn't say a word, turns and walks away.

and, thus, an era ends.

Dick, Dick, Dick. You could have just let the cops handle it, but NO.

Some Robin Rooters are silent admirers. Dick's old friend, Mr. Haly, owner of Haly's Independent Circus falls into that category. When the circus rolls into town and sets up on the edge of Hudson University, we know that there is bound to be trouble. Sure enough, the show is opening with the debut of a new "Flying Graysons" team. They aren't actually Graysons, but just trying to bring in a larger nostalgia audience. The step-dad is bad to the bone, though. He plots to kill his step daughter and score some cash form old Mr. Haly. Robin intervenes, and it is revealed that Mr. Haly has secretly known all along that Dick Grayson is Robin, because he recognizes his acrobatic style. Sharp eyes, Mr. Haly!

I just can't get over Robin setting up Lori Elton's new boyfriend as a villain, out of jealousy. What a ...
