Teen Titans #4

This August 1966 issue of Teen Titans announces its guest star right on the cover: "You asked for Speedy… you've got him!" — and Nick Cardy delivers with a striking image of the blindfolded archer drawing his bow while flaming arrows ensnare Robin, Wonder Girl, Aqualad, and Kid Flash in a tangle of giant rings. Robin's urgent plea to Wonder Girl to break them free before Speedy's next trick shot "sizzles" them gives the scene a playful urgency that perfectly captures the series' youthful energy. Bob Haney's story, "The Secret Olympic Heroes," promises the full team in action, and Cardy's bold, kinetic cover art makes it easy to see why this era of Teen Titans remains so fondly remembered.
