The New Teen Titans 1980

The original Teen Titans comic appeared in the 1960's and featured the sidekicks of major heroes, Robin,Kid Flash,Speedy,Aqualad and Wonder Girl, basically a Junior Justice League. The book wasn't a major hit.
In 1980 Marv Wolfman and artist George Perez decided to revive the team, they had 3 original members, Robin,Wonder Girl, Kid Flash adding new members Beast Boy from the Doom Patrol who went to the code name Changeling and three newly created characters the half demon Raven, Cyborg and the alien Starfire.
The New Teen Titans became a runaway hit in the early 80's, something DC really needed with Marvel dominating the sales charts with X-men and their other X-titles. Teen Titans is still being published but with roster changes and with the New 52 in 2011 a new history.

The 80's New Teen Titans is available on Amazon.
