I can't remember the details but this is the issue LAM is thinking about -

Great issue. Great era!

A. Dog Island?

B. Miss Wickham?

C. I remember the ghost's name was Gregori. Does that get me anything?

LAM isn't around anymore I don't think Jim so go ahead and ask the next question. And well done for remembering all that info!

Does that mean I was right?


When the Titans met the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse, who was the only Titan to meet "War" and who were the only 3 Titans to meet "Famine"?

Well, I doublechecked the last answer last night and it turns out that it was Miss Wickersham, not Miss Wickham. Magda Wickersham, AKA Magda Drachwyck to be precise.


This question has stagnated long enough. The answer is:
Kid Flash was the only Titan to meet War and Lilith, Mal, and Speedy were the only ones to meet Famine.

Here's a followup question. What was ironic about the backup story in that issue (TT #37) and no, I don't mean that they miscolored Green Arrow/Robin Hood's costume with Speedy's colors.

Is anybody else still playing this game?

It is just that recalling particular stories by issue number is not one of my strong suits.

I'll read the story...and try to answer it, Jim.

OK, just read it. Umm...it is ironic that Oliver Queen went to school in Smallville?

Nope.


By ironic, I mean in how it relates to the lead story.

Jim, are you referring to the fact that all of the bad guys were horsemen?

You're on the right track but there's more to it than that.

Dammit Jim! I'm a doctor, not a comic-book geek! Oh, wait a minute...

Okay, I'm about to split and won't be back here until Monday, so I'll spill the beans and give Lance the next question.

In both stories, the heroes faced each of 4 legendary horsemen, one at a time, each of whom rode a different colored horse and carried a different weapon. 3 of the horse colors were even the same (red, yellow, black) and 2 of the weapons were too (sword, torch). Okay, in the 2nd story it was crooks disguised as legendary horsemen, but you get the drift.

I wonder if this reprinted story was chosen specifically for this reason. It's hard to believe the powers that be of the day had that much on the ball, but why else would they reprint a Superboy/Green Arrow story in a Teen Titans comic?

Jim, I suspect the Titans story was cannibalized from the Green Arrow story. This would explain the similarities.

Back with a Titans question as soon as I steal one from earlier in the thread...

OK, here we go...

When Beast Boy first tried to join the Teen Titans, he was not allowed to join. Why not?

His guardian refused to give his permission.

That's it, Quis. I picked this issue (TT #6, I think) up cheap last weekend. Your question, sir.

OK, I picked up the Showcase Presents: the Teen Titans.

In the first appearance, Robin, Kid Flash, & Aqualad fight Mr. Twister. Mr. Twister was making a demand on the town of Happy Harbor. What was the specific demand and what was to be the replacement if the specific demand was not met?

By the terms of the original contract with Twister's ancestor, the town had to give him a passenger pigeon feather every year.

If that was not supplied, the town had to provide "a youth" for a year's service to him. By the time Twister showed up, a LOT of feathers or kids were owed since the last payment.

Yep, that's it. Also the story mentions the fact that the passenger pigeon became extinct in 1912.

Your question Calybos

Okay, here's a trick question: In an early adventure, the Titans met a displaced-in-time youth known as the "Million Year-Old Teenager."

What was his name?

Gnaark?

Garn

Quislet's got it; he took a more modern name too (which I forget--Hans something?).

Gnaark was the distraction; he's the Titans' most FAMOUS caveman associate, but not the "Million Year-Old Teenager."
