"In his last few years as Robin, Dick had become increasingly mature and adult, no doubt, particularly after he settled as the leader of the New Teen Titans in the early 1980s.  He was shown to handle multiple activities and responsibilities, to have…"

"Thanks for the input, Commander.One of the things that attract me to mainstream comics is their effect on the perception of the passage of time.  Sometimes I feel like galleries of covers might almost as well be representative samples of marketing…"

"A letter column comment in "Batman Family" (in #3-5, not sure where) reveals that the Batgirl-Robin story was originally meant for "First Issue Special", so we do know that it was written as a proposal for regular team-ups."

"This reminds me of the way they later handled Barbara Gordon. For story purposes she was sometimes a teenager dating Robin and other times she was an adult librarian contemplating running for Congress. Earth-One continuity seems to be indeed…"

Luis Olavo de Moura Dantas replied to Jeff of Earth-J's discussion What should be collected next?
"True. That is a classic period with a couple of crossovers and guest appearances (Sea Devils, Doom Patrol).  I would extend your window into 1970, since that provides some more variety in one of the most innovative times in Challengers' history,…"

Luis Olavo de Moura Dantas replied to Jeff of Earth-J's discussion What should be collected next?
"I think the time is right for some revisitation of DC Westerns.  Jonah Hex had some great stories in the 1970s and 1980s, including a full 92 issue self-named run which may have been entirely written by Michael Fleisher.  That just doesn't happen…"
