Teen Titans #8

Teen Titans #8 (April 1967) pits Robin, Kid Flash, Wonder Girl, and Aqualad against a towering mechanical menace with a deceptively sweet name — "A Killer Called Honey Bun!" The cover, penciled by Nick Cardy and Sheldon Moldoff and inked by Cardy and Charles Paris, dramatically captures the team in full chaos: Robin swings in from the left, Kid Flash braces below a massive tripod war-machine labeled "Honey Bun," Wonder Girl is ensnared by its mechanical tentacles, and Aqualad is hurled skyward in a geyser of water, all while the machine chants its ominous directive. The tagline says it all — "There is but nothing cute or sweet about" this threat — and the whole scene delivers exactly the breathless, larger-than-life energy that made 1967 DC so much fun.
