The New Teen Titans #49 (November 1988)



This is more of that story about Red Star accidentally betraying the Titans until he learns the truth about how evil his communist friends really are. It takes place in San Francsico because New York was tired of getting trashed because the Titans have way too many problems to deal with and they always erupt into violence.

Check out Sickle’s nipple on the cover! I was always happy when an artist threw in a nipple here and there! Some of you are probably thinking, “Big deal! A painted nipple on a comic book character! So tame! And probably sexist that you’re getting all randy about it! Jerk!” But you have to remember that this comic book came out in 1988 before the Porn Distribution Service that some people call, incorrectly, the Internet. This was no Succubus in the Dungeons and Dragons Monster Manual but I was around sixteen at this age and boobies weren’t exactly falling all over me. You’d think that playing Warhammer every night would be a total turn on with the ladies, right?! I mean, I had long hair and I would soon find out who Led Zeppelin was, so that totally made me cool and shit!
