Isaac Christians as the Gargoyle is an old soul inhabiting a powerful form, while the original Teen Titans were youths learning to step into the shoes of their more experienced partners. I could definitely see a mentor/student relationship between them. It would be interesting to read about, anyway.
This crossover is more apt than you know. Seeing as one of Teen Titans' first recurring enemies was called...The Gargoyle!
ReplyDeleteIt makes me wonder what Isaac Christians would think and/or do about Bromwell Stikk?
ReplyDeleteanother carefully crafted piece,
ReplyDeletethe titans early stories were very much in this vein…
the kids are alright!! The originals that helped launch so many others.
ReplyDeletegreat design with Robin willing to risk everything, but then...when wouldn't he?
What a great but unexpected team up. Really nice job!
ReplyDeleteA shame that you didn't feature Supergirl today, considering that today's her birthday... as well as the birthday of Laura Vandervoort, who played the character in Smallville!
ReplyDeleteThe original Titans cover, with a broken Robin's cape off and the ghost effect on the others, neither of which I had seen before, really made an impression on early teen-age me.
ReplyDeleteRoss, was the image you used from the interior of that book, or a compilation book cover, or what ?
I make these months is advance Jay, I can't remember.
ReplyDelete@Jay Johnson: I can't prove it! But, I think it might've been the title page art for TEEN TITANS v.1/#14 from Dec. 1968.
ReplyDeleteOOPS! Correction; Apr. 1968.
ReplyDeleteYou should have DC's Gargoyle sue Marvel's Gargoyle for copyright infringement over their names with Harvey Birdman & Daredevil as the lawyers (or maybe She-Hulk).
ReplyDelete@my namesake: provided they could make the charges "Stikk."
ReplyDeleteI'll show myself out.
Lots of jokes on here today. :)
ReplyDeleteWell, as the 4th Doctor might say: "Levity is the best medicine."
