About this Issue

The Brave and the Bold #60 is the issue where the name 'Teen Titans' was first applied to the group, giving DC's junior superhero team its permanent identity after an unnamed tryout in B&B #54 the previous year. It simultaneously introduced Wonder Girl — the character who would eventually be named Donna Troy — as the team's founding female member, completing the four-person Silver Age lineup of Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, and Wonder Girl. The accidental creative blunder at the heart of the issue's production — Haney and editor Kashdan apparently not realizing they had drafted a character who was technically just a teenage version of Wonder Woman rather than a separate person — spawned one of DC's most enduring continuity puzzles, one that writers would spend decades untangling through multiple retcons of Donna Troy's origin. Without this issue there is no Teen Titans franchise as we know it: no Wolfman/Pérez New Teen Titans, no Titans television series, and no Donna Troy.

History

Writer Bob Haney and editor George Kashdan had already established the trio of Robin, Kid Flash, and Aqualad in B&B #54 (July 1964) with artist Bruno Premiani, but the group had no team name at that point. For the follow-up, Haney scripted the story while Premiani again handled interior pencils and inks; Nick Cardy — who would become the defining visual stylist of the Silver Age Titans — provided the cover art, a credit confirmed across multiple sources. Kashdan, working at DC during a period when the publisher was actively developing youth-oriented comics to capitalize on the mid-1960s teen cultural moment, appears to have green-lit Wonder Girl's addition without anyone on the creative team recognizing that the character was, in the contemporaneous Wonder Woman comics, simply a time-displaced younger version of Diana rather than an independent hero. That editorial oversight, innocent as it was, permanently separated Wonder Girl from Wonder Woman and created Donna Troy as her own character in all continuities that followed.

Trivia · 8 facts

Cover date July 1965 (on-sale date recorded by the Grand Comics Database as April 22, 1965); published by National Periodical Publications Inc. under the DC/Superman banner.
First issue to use the name 'Teen Titans' for the group — Robin (Dick Grayson), Kid Flash (Wally West), and Aqualad (Garth) had appeared together without a team name in B&B #54 (1964).
First appearance of Wonder Girl as a distinct character (later named Donna Troy), making her a co-founding member of the Teen Titans; her secret identity and the name Donna Troy would not be established until Teen Titans #22 (1969).
Written by Bob Haney; interior art by Bruno Premiani (pencils and inks); cover art by Nick Cardy; edited by George Kashdan.
Story title: 'The Astounding Separated Man' — the four Titans are summoned to the town of Midville to stop a villain named the Separated Man (secretly Jake Trask), whose body can split into giant independent limbs.
Kid Flash's costume is mis-colored throughout the issue — an in-story production error noted in DC's own continuity database.
The issue launched a tryout pipeline: the Teen Titans next appeared in Showcase #59 (December 1965) before graduating to their own ongoing series with Teen Titans #1 (February 1966).
The story has been reprinted in Silver Age Teen Titans Archives Vol. 1 (2003), Showcase Presents: Teen Titans Vol. 1 (2006), Teen Titans: The Silver Age Omnibus (2017), Wonder Girl: Adventures of a Teen Titan (2017), and a DC Facsimile Edition published April 23, 2025.
