Titans Retrospective: Team History

Linkara: Some time around 1999 or 2000, my brother was collecting Nightwing comics. He was a huge fan of the character, primarily thanks to his appearances on the "Batman" animated series. He took these comics, bagged and boarded them, and tacked them on his walls. Mostly, it was the cover of the crappy blue seashell-themed wallpaper in his room, but he'd still take the comics down and read them. And he would let me read them, too. I had not read many comics before, just the occasional one I found here and there. Anything I knew about superheroes came from cartoons or from word of mouth. That's how I had heard about stuff like the Clone Saga, even though I had never actually read a single issue of it. It was in "Nightwing: Secret Files & Origins #1" where I was first exposed to a team that Dick Grayson, age whatever, had been a part of: the Teen Titans.
