tec 38

[Superman1981]

For you all TEC collector. How is the importance of the TEC 38 ? All of you talk often of all pre robin tec, but not many of you talk about this book first app of robin.

It has the first appearance of Robin, he's even on the cover.

That is very important to those who like Robin.

Everyone on these boards seem to hate robin

Apart from the easy slams it is behind 27 28 29 31 33 35 and Batman 1 and above everything else. It might be above 28 and 35 but it is a relatively common book for its era.

 

A nice copy where the orange is fresh and hasn't faded might step above a nice 28 or 35 but even then I'd have to pick a 28 in 9.0 over a 38 in the same grade.

why?

I asked Ciorac that question a while ago, but I forgot what he told me. I am sure he or someone else will chime in.

Well...there's only one person to blame....Batman. He's the one who like them young and boyish. Blame Batman.

I have all the detectives (as does Bat-hound)...we like collecting issues 38 on...but, many like the darker/grittier Batman in 27-37...seems the intro to Robin made it too "kid" friendly...

As far as Robin stories go, you can't beat the one in 'tec 38. It's one of those origin stories that DC should just leave alone. No retelling or expansion has improved upon the original.

As a kid, I really loved reading the Batman stories from the mid fifties to early sixties. I never had a problem with Robin.

Robin is very mportant...126kfor a 9.4 worth.

The book is very common by golden age standards.A real easy get.Probably its only know.

I asked Ciorac that question a while ago, but I forgot what he told me.

I totally understand why you blocked out Ciorac's long tale of man-boy love for Robin.

 

[SuperBird]

Solo Batman is cool, scary, and creepy.

 

batman with Robin is goofy and creepy.

 

[action1kid]

thats true.he lost his mojo when robin popped up

[action1kid]

well, his mystery anyway

Is the hatred because after Robin, Batman got softer and didn't shoot enough people?

Is the hatred because after Robin, Batman got softer and didn't shoot enough people?

[MrBedrock]

Is the hatred because after Robin, Batman got softer?

Only a groupie of the Dynamic Duo could answer this.
