Item Description
This is one of DC’s most underrated anthology titles. Over the years, it featured some of the best and most original characters that DC had. Robin had the cover for 30 straight issues. This is an exciting cover that, while dominated by the Knights, still keeps its focus squarely on Robin. If you look closely, you will notice that Robin is actually pole vaulting off another horse. The white horse at the bottom bears his initial. His action is a triumph of both athletics and thinking. How many Knights ever had someone pole vault off of their horse to knock them off? The pages are off-white. The book is CGC-certified VF 8.0. The CGC census lists this copy as the second highest graded copy they have seen. One of the highlights of this issue is a cameo appearance by Batman. The Dark Knight seldom crossed over into Robin’s solo stories, so this is an exceptional listing.
