☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Ticket to Tragedy," Robin steps into the spotlight—not just as a hero, but as a symbol, testing out three fan-designed costumes while chasing the mystery of Gary Stephans' disappearance. With the enigmatic Raven lingering in the shadows, the line between fan devotion and danger blurs. Written by Bob Rozakis and illustrated by Don Newton, with inks by Dan Adkins, colors by Gene D'Angelo, and letters by Shelly Leferman, the issue’s cover by Jim Starlin captures the tension in a single, striking image.
In "Does the Costume Make the Hero?", Robin steps out of his usual gear to test three fan-designed costumes, each more daring than the last, as he investigates the strange disappearance of Gary Stephans. Along the way, he crosses paths once more with the enigmatic Raven, whose presence adds a layer of mystery to an already puzzling case.
