Terry Long

Terrence Arthur Long was a college history professor who became romantically involved with Donna Troy (Wonder Girl) after the two met, eventually marrying her. An ordinary man with no powers, he moved in the orbit of the New Teen Titans purely through his relationship with Donna.

Few characters are as deeply woven into the fabric of one of comics' most beloved eras as Terry Long, who stepped onto the page in The New Teen Titans #8 in 1981 — right in the thick of the Bronze Age renaissance that George Pérez, Marv Wolfman, and Romeo Tanghal were engineering at DC. With 40 catalog appearances spread across The New Teen Titans, Tales of the Teen Titans, and beyond, Terry is a consistent presence in the world surrounding Donna Troy, Dick Grayson, Koriand'r, and Victor Stone — the heart of one of DC's most celebrated rosters. Three of those appearances carry key-issue significance, a testament to how meaningfully this character intersects with the landmark moments of that era. For collectors who love the rich, character-driven storytelling that defined the Titans' golden years, Terry Long is a name worth knowing.
