☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 1993 collection brings together key early stories from the solo Robin series, focusing on Tim Drake's formative adventures as the third Robin. It includes his first encounters with major villains and the development of his supporting cast, highlighting the balance between personal tragedy and heroic triumph that defines his tenure. The volume collects issues #1-5 of the 1993 Robin ongoing series, written by Chuck Dixon with art by Tom Grummett and others.
In "Rite of Passage Part One: Shadow on the Sun," Chuck Dixon and Tom Lyle deliver a tense, character-driven story as Robin faces his greatest challenge yet—defending Gotham alone while the Joker exploits a hidden vulnerability in the city's phone system. With the Batman away and the Joker's schemes unfolding in the shadows, Robin must rely on his wits and training to stop a digital threat that could bring the entire city to its knees. Travis Charest and Scott Hanna’s cover captures the moment of rising tension, perfectly framing the stakes of this pivotal chapter.
In "Rite of Passage Part Three: Make Me a Hero," Tim Drake pushes past his limits as he hunts the hacker behind a massive corporate heist, while Batman follows a trail that could lead to the truth about Tim’s missing parents. The stakes rise as past and present collide in a race to uncover secrets buried beneath the city’s surface.
In "The Funniest Thing Happened...," Joker’s sudden escape from Arkham sets off a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, leaving Robin to unravel the villain’s next move. With Batman absent and the city on edge, Robin follows a trail that leads to Osgood Pellinger, a reclusive computer expert—only to find the man already in the Joker’s grasp.
In "Tomorrow a Tragedy," Jo, now operating as Robin alone in Gotham, faces a chilling threat when the Joker exploits schematics from Osgood Pellinger to seize control of the city’s phone network. With Batman away and the city’s infrastructure at risk, Jo must outthink a villain who’s not just playing games—but rewriting the rules.
