The TT has a history of kewl covers, since Nick Cardy did so many of them. Here's one of my very favorites: ![[Linked Image]](http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f185/MLLASH/42-1.jpg)

I thought about posting that cover when I thought about starting this thread earlier today!

It's easily one of my favorite covers of any comic ever. SPOOKY! DYNAMIC! I can almost feel the water splashing my face.

Bet they're wishing Aqualad was with them at that point.
I miss great cover art like this.
Active LMB character is still Beast Boy.

It's Lilith and yes her hair (AND boots, BTW) is micolored on the cover (but colored correctly inside).

After reading the 70s TT revial and learning there were a boatload of old Titans and going back-issue bin diving, I bought this issue on the sheer power of the cover alone.

Cardy was hands-down one of the best cover artists of all time in comics history. What a great cover!
And is it okay if I pretend Donna is actually laying on my bed like that?

Too bad that cover had the cast border around it. Diminishes the effect. 
Still "Lardy" to my friends!

TT # 42 was one of the first comics I ever bought--predating even the Legion by a few months.
Yes, the cover is awesome--and I actually like the border. DC and Marvel both used borders in the early '70s, and I thought they created a striking effect. The frame made the main art stand out while the dramatis personae on the left told you who was who. As a kid who recognized the Titans from their cartoon series, I was immediately drawn in by this instant identification.
As for the story itself, it's been years since I read it, but I remember it being very cool. Giant beetles and salamanders, a trip to the Yucatan on a raft, and Donna getting bitten by a snake (shades of True Grit!) made it a harrowing adventure.

I have that issue. Love it and the cover! (Though Lilith's blonde hair bugs!) This was the first issue of Teen Titans I ever bought (or rather was bought for me by my sister) and features another awesome Nick Cardy cover - http://www.comics.org/issue/25520/cover/4/?style=default (I'm not sure how to post the image directly to the thread but maybe someone else can do the honours.) The story is majorly Mal-centric but for some sad reason he didn't make the cover.  These are my favourite two Cardy covers though - http://www.comics.org/issue/23885/cover/4/?style=default http://www.comics.org/issue/24149/cover/4/?style=default The first is so awesomly creepy and the second has fantastic composition as well as being exciting and (of course) Mal-centric.

P.S. In the little icons at the top of every post - who shares the 'Profile' one with Wonder Girl?

^^^ Are you sure EDE? It looks like a pale-white faced person with no nose. Holding their fist up on the left? It reminds me of Brother Power the Geek for some reason though I know it can't be him.

Cobie has a huge obsession going on with Donna.
