It was called "Tales of the New Teen Titans", ran four issues, and the framing story was that the group went on a camping trip as a team-building exercise (and overdue vacation). Each issue mostly consisted of one of the newly created characters (Cyborg, Raven and Starfire) and the then-obscure character (Beast Boy) to tell their origin in flashback. Gar gives a condensed version of his origin in DP#100 and the back-up stories from DP#'s 112-115. The rest of his flashback explains what happened to him between the breakup of Teen Titans West (c.1978) and the formation of NTT. That's when Galtry returned with the Arsenal armor. That portion of the flashback was newly written and drawn by Wolfman and Pérez but took place four years (our time) earlier.<br /><br />I wrote about the different versions of Gar's origin in an old blog post here:<br />http://lgc01dp.blogspot.com/2011/01/dp02-06-beast-boy-and-mal-duncan-part-3.htmlpblfsdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07471473189061385119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-267460715480489446.post-75972390382299812452016-08-05T22:14:36.576-07:002016-08-05T22:14:36.576-07:00Wow look at this!! Issue pics and everything. Than...Wow look at this!! Issue pics and everything. Thanks to Doug's involvement Waiting For Doom is almost like a proper podcast!! :P :P :P Just kidding.<br /><br />Another great ep guys. They keep getting better and better. Not sure if a robot's crotch is as bigger weak spot as they were hoping since Cliff is using his a weapon... And yep the Chief setting up that camera in Madame Rouge's bedroom is totally on the pervy old man side of things. Guess he should have known about the Chief from the very beginning. <br /><br />Keep up the great work guys!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16179781000428978956noreply@blogger.com
