Hidden inside a Superman and Green Lantern team-up book, tucked in as a 16-page preview, three characters made their first appearance who would go on to define a decade of DC Comics — and become some of the most beloved heroes in the medium.
Raven. Starfire. Cyborg.
DC Comics Presents #26 is where the New Teen Titans begin. Marv Wolfman and George Pérez, two of the great creative talents of their era, introduced a team that would outsell even X-Men for a period in the early 1980s. The preview in this issue isn’t a throwaway — it’s a fully realized introduction to characters who feel alive from their very first panels.
Cyborg has become a cornerstone of the DC Universe. Starfire and Raven have sustained massive fanbases through animation, Teen Titans Go, and the Titans live-action series. Every version of them traces back to this book.
This CBCS 8.0 is a clean, well-preserved copy with white pages — excellent for a 45-year-old comic, and exactly the kind of book that belongs in a serious DC Bronze Age collection.
