Teen Titans #39

From a gauntlet of primitive warriors brandishing skull-topped clubs, Robin leads his teammates through a desperate escape while a fallen red-haired figure lies unconscious at their feet — Nick Cardy's cover crackles with genuine danger as the taunt "Die in your cell — or out here!" sets the stakes perfectly. The story, "Awake, Barbaric Titan!", promises Gnarrk reverting to cave-man savagery, and the full roster of Robin, Kid Flash, Wonder Girl, and Speedy is on hand to face the threat. Rounding out this June 1972 issue is a bonus Hawk and the Dove feature, making it a satisfying double dose of DC's teen heroes.
