10 Teen Titans Graphic Novels You Must Read Before You Die

2. New Teen Titans Vol 1

When it comes to the Teen Titans, the group concept has been around since the 1960s. It didn't start to gain ground until Marv Wolfman and George Pérez took over the title with a relaunch as The New Teen Titans in 1980.

Their lineup consisted of Wonder Girl, Kid Flash, Robin, and Beast Boy, but also added some new folks: Cyborg, Raven, and Starfire. This lineup would remain the one most people knew as it was adapted into the animated series years later.

The New Teen Titans Volume 1 collects the first eight issues from the Wolfman/Pérez run featuring stories every new reader of the Teen Titans should definitely have in their collection.

The book details the team's formation, covers the introduction of Deathstroke The Terminator, their first conflict with Trigon (Raven's demonic dad), and their initial confrontation with the Justice League. It's a must-read for anyone who considers themselves a fan of the Teen Titans in any form.
