    Robin: The Teen Wonder 1970-1979 Informatio Needed

    If anyone ever wonders why I've always liked Robin as much as Batman, it's because of not only his media interpretations from the 1970's but how he was interpreted in the comics as well, which inspired how he was portrayed for most of Batman: The Animated Series.
    During this era of the Bronze Age, Dick Grayson was either 18 or 19 and he was attending college @ Hudson University and most of his adventures as Robin took place on and around campus. This was the Robin I liked. He was more competent a crimefighter as opposed to his "Boy Wonder" years. Other than that, he teamed with Batgirl in Batman Family and led the Teen Titans.
    I just finished reading the Showcase collection of Robin stories that were mostly shorts from the Batman and Detective Comics from the late 60's and early 70's. As a kid in the 70's, I recall seeing Robin with Batman only on the live TV show and the 1977 New Adventures of Batman series and SuperFriends, but not in the comics.
    I would like to find out about every comic that Robin appeared in from 1970 to 1979, especially in the pages of Batman and Detective Comics. Is there a website or some place online that would have that information? I especially loved it any time that Jim Aparo drew the Dick Grayson Robin as well as Batman, which I guess was not very much. In particular, the Batman story in Batman Family #17 with Scar and the Huntress.
    Anyway, if anyone has any information on the Bronze Age Robin, I'd be most grateful.
    Cheers.

    Besides the aforementioned Batman, Detective, Batman Family and Teen Titans...Robin probably popped up in some issues of World's Finest during that time period. And SuperFriends, although the comic isn't part of DCU continuity. And off the top of my head, Brave and the Bold #149 had Robin guest-starring with the Titans.

      I know a guy that was selling every DC comic from that era scanned into adobe acrobat form. I think he got busted and banned from eBay. I can still see if I have his email. Not really sure what the crimes or laws are against that.

        I did a search at the Big Comic Book Database for Robin. The results list 1272 comics featuring Robin. It may take a little time, but you can go through that list and pick out the ones from the 70's.

        I also did a search for Dick Grayson, it had 513 matches. It may list the same books as the Robin search, I'm not sure.

        Hope this helps.

          Easy. He didn't have the legal right to sell the books in that format.
