Indexer Notes

Kid Flash, Robin and Aqualad - later to become the Teen Titans.

Inks are credited to Charles Paris in "The Greatest Team-Up Stories Ever Told (1989 series) (DC) #[nn]", but his involvement is minimal. He only inks the faces of Robin (and Batman in two panels), and even the splash panel, in which Robin is upside down in the air, has Premiani inks on his face. The remainder has Premiani inks throughout.
