Kenzie S asks:
NEW TEEN TITANS #2
(Dec 1980)
DC Comics
Ok , I have spent almost all of my day off trying to figure this out , I
asked Marv, he said to ask you! Is Starfire left or right handed
?
George Perez answers: Even though I never actually had Kory writing
anything (since we never established if her kissing Dick gave her the
ability to write as well as speak English) the arm band on her left arm
indicates that she’s likely left handed.

NEW TEEN TITANS #2 (Dec 1980)
DC Comics
“The Raid” helmer Gareth Evans is in early discussions to write and
direct DC Comics Assassin “Deathstroke” film, TheWrap has exclusively
learned.
“True Blood” and “Magic Mike” star Joe Manganiello is
attached to star. Deathstroke was previously attached to be the
antagonist on the solo “The Batman” film when Ben Affleck was still
attached to direct. “He’s a great villain because — I just had an
instinctive feeling that he would match up with him well. You know, I’m a
big admirer of that character as well, especially in the New 52 the way
that they did Deathstroke, and I thought that it could work,” Affleck
told Collider.

Dan Jurgens Wanted to Reprint Teen Titans #2 in latest Booster Gold

Gold Exchange Q&A: Booster Gold #22
July 11th, 2009 Author Russ Burlingame
With
Batman dead—ahem, that is, with the OTHER Batman dead, you know, the
new one, the one who wasn’t dead already, not that the old one is
ACTUALLY dead but nobody knows that and…anyway, with Batman
dead—Booster Gold was charged this month with the unenviable task of
traveling back in time and facing off against Slade “Terminator”
Wilson, stepping into the pages of Teen Titans #2 by Marv Wolfman and George Perez.
(excerpt)
BLOG@: Is it just me, or
is Black Beetle really shortsighted? He doesn’t think of SKEETS? I
mean, he’s been involved in EVERY story Black Beetle has!…Unless of
course we find out Black Beetle is someone else, but still: how do you
forget Skeets when you’re “dampening” powers?
Dan Jurgens: If
you go back and look at the original Titans story, and I tried to
indicate this through the dialogue of the scene, the power dampeners
belonged to Deathstroke. At that particular point of the story, he wants the action to move ahead to Gar’s pool in order to cultivate the time change he wanted.
I had suggested they reprint Teen Titans #2 as a backup instead of running the Blue Beetle that month but it didn’t fly, so you’ll have to go look it up!

FACES OF EVIL FLASHBACK: Deathstroke

| "Faces of Evil: Deathstroke" one-shot on sale in January |
CBR’s look at the villains we love to hate continues, highlighting the stars of DC Comics’ Faces of Evil
campaign, whereby the villains of the DC Universe take center stage in
a series of one-shots and special issues of existing series. The
spotlight falls this week on Deathstoke the Terminator, who returns to
prominence in “Faces of Evil: Deathstroke,” a new one-shot on sale now.
Slade
Wilson was a mercenary and assassin first introduced in "New Teen
Titans" v.1 #2 (December 1980) by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez.
Originally, Deathstroke was referred to simply as The Terminator, and
while this might evoke images of Arnold Schwarzenegger looking for
Sarah Connor, the character predated the "Terminator" film by four
years.
The origins of Deathstroke are no secret. As a teen,
Slade Wilson lied about his age so he could join the military, where he
distinguished himself as a soldier and an officer. It was in the
service that Slade met Adeline Kane, a military training officer who,
in a guerrilla training exercise, defeated Slade in combat. Addie and
Slade were a match both on and off the field of battle. The pair were
married and Addie gave birth to a son, Grant (Ravager I).

NEW TEEN TITANS #1 (Nov 1980)
The surprising success of the Teen Titans
By GAVIN FORD
Star-Gazette
October 28, 2005
(excerpt)
1980 was an interesting year for DC
Comics. Many of Marvel Comics' top talents had left the company because
of the office politics of the time and made their way to DC. Writer
Marv Wolfman and artist George Perez had both just made the move and
were eager to start some new projects. The duo wanted to do a new "Teen
Titans" book and DC reluctantly agreed.
Most staffers at the time figured the
book would last about six issues. Wolfman and Perez, however, had added
a new twist to the comic. Previous versions of the series had always
dealt with existing characters from other books. While the latest book
featured some of these characters, new ones were also created. This was
the introduction of Cyborg, Raven and Starfire. It was also the start
of something big. Within a short time, "The New Teen Titans" was DC's
biggest selling book and was rivaling Marvel's "X-Men" among fans.
From George Pérez
Carol Sladky is the model for the Ravager's girl friend in NEW TEEN TITANS #2.
Ironically, since my wife's name is also Carol some of my acquaintances
thought that I had married Carol Sladky. For the record my lovely bride
of over 23 and ½ years is named Carol FLYNN.

Letters. We’ve Got Letters!
By Marv Wolfman
(excerpt)
The following came from someone whose name I stupidly lost. Tell me who sent this and I'll publicly apologize.
What is your opinion of the different segments of your lengthy run on
Titans? What was your best story arc? What was your worst? At what
point did you realize you didn't want to write it anymore? Discuss
generally your long run on the book and how it affected you as a writer
and the concept of the team book in the comic medium. Also compare your
run on Titans to the Claremont period on X-Men and the results on both
books.
The New Teen Titans was the best of
times and the worst of times. I loved writing the book, especially the
first eight to ten years where I was in charge of it, either
unofficially or officially. Those were the issues where I did what I
truly believed in. Once someone else comes in - even if they are a
great editor - things change. Sometimes for the best. Sometimes not so
for the best. There are a number comics where I truly believe the
editor makes the series much, much better, but a very few series where
I feel the creators should be left alone. For me those series would be
Titans, Crisis and Tomb Of Dracula. Everything else I've worked on has
been helped by working with good editors.
I don't think it's at all surprising that things weren't quite the same
on Titans once that control changed.
Best runs: The first 50 issues. Or
anytime I worked with the incredible George Perez. He wasn't just the
artist. He was the co-creator. Favorite stories: "Who is Donna Troy?",
the Terra storyline. And a story nobody ever brings up which is my all
time favorite, "Shades of Gray," the culmination of the
Changeling/Terminator story. There are dozens of smaller stories that I
also love, especially "A Day In The Life," and "A Pretty Girl Is Like a
Maladi." I loved the Kole stories and many others.
Where did it go wrong? The last year or
two. The reason? See my note in paragraph one above. Also, along the
way I lost interest in the series and thought of quitting, but then Jon
Peterson became editor and reminded me what I loved about the book. We
did "Titans Hunt" together which was as close to the 'classic' Titans
as I had done in a long time. It would have been a lot better if it
hadn't had to be broken up by two maxi-series, turning what should have
been a four-five part story where Vic Stone would have been rebuilt to
a year and a half storyline where he got lost in the mix.
I finally had it during that final year
and decided to quit the book. I hated every story. Every issue. I
wasn't even the plotter. So, at a DC Christmas out here in LA, I went
up to DCU Editor-in-Chief Mike Carlin and said I wanted to quit and
asked if DC would bring back Night Force and let me write that instead,
but with a different editor. I thought there might have been a problem,
but Mike said yes but asked me to stay on the Titans a few issues
longer. He said he thought it would be best to cancel the Titans with
my run rather than just hand it over to someone else. They would then
restart it with new characters, concepts and a new number one, which I
thought was a great idea. After sixteen years, a new voice and approach
was needed. Mike assigned a new editor to my last four issues, and,
with the exception of not being able to use Nightwing - who had been
returned to Batman continuity - let me end the series pretty much the
way I wanted. I still thank Mike for rescuing me from what had turned
into a hellish nightmare.
I still love the Titans and would love
to do individual stories about them, but DC hasn't seemed that
interested. I recently proposed a character-driven Titans-3 series
featuring an approximately 24 year old Cyborg, Raven and Starfire
trying to figure out what they are about when they aren't being super,
but nobody seems to be banging down my door for it. I also have tried
to jumpstart the Games graphic novel George and I started a dozen years
ago - of which he drew 80 incredible pages that have never been seen -
but again, no interest.
