The first volume of the New Teen Titans began publication in November of 1980, with co-creators Marv Wolfman writing and George Pérez providing pencils. The series introduced a variety of new villains, including the popular mercenary known as Deathstroke the Terminator, Trigon, the H.I.V.E. and the Fearsome Five. With issue #41, the title of the series changed to Tales of the Teen Titans. This era of Titans history saw the addition of Jericho to the team’s ranks and the evolution of Robin into his current guise as Nightwing.
In 1984, DC began publication of New Teen Titans (Volume 2). This series chronologically took place approximately six months after the concurrently published issue of Tales of the Teen Titans. By issue Tales of the Teen Titans #58, the Tales title had caught up with the events chronicled in New Teen Titans (Volume 2) #1. The remainder of the series ran as reprints of the volume 2 material until its cancellation in 1988 with issue #91.
Midway through the series run, the editors realized that almost none of the feature characters were teenagers any longer. In order to correct the series’ misnomer, the title was changed to the The New Titans with issue #50. The New Titans continued publication until February of 1996 ending with issue #130. Later that year, the Titans were relaunched with an all-new team in The Teen Titans (Volume 2).
