A little tied up Robin to make us feel at home

[icon_uk]

Since I lack any new images to show you, since most of mine can be seen either here or elsewhere in the transported IJ archives, I thought I'd try something different. I'd limit myself to actual published comic covers...

To give you an idea of how plentiful the raw material was, It took me less than half an hour with www.comics.org and a couple of sites I know to give me this little lot!




Okay, I cheated with the first image, I've also included a more up to date commission of the same image (not mine)






Okay, you got me again, another recreation, again, not mine...:)



Robin and tentacles!!! YAY!






Okay, that last one isn't a bondage image, but it IS a memorable and rather unique piece of "sidekicks in peril"








And a few from the Teen Titans, for some equal opportunity tying up!

Technically, if you think about which way the coin would be facing, that heads/tails bit is wrong....

Wrong thing to focus on, but I'm OCD like that.

Last scan - "Worst. Titans. Dance party. EVER!"

It's a double headed coin? So tails can be whatever Two-Face wants it to be since it's irrelevant, :)

[ex_frolics927]

the more to date images are semi-terrifying.

and I don't know why but there's something really funny about the dig now, die later cover.

Of course we musn't forget this one:

[icon_uk]

True, but it IS included in the link to my Robin bondagepaloozaI post!

I have an Al Bigley repro in BTAS style of the swinging blade one, which I'm surprised I've never scanned, and which is perhaps a little LESS terrifying.

Dick Grayson, the one boy whose childhood is more messed up than Rusty Venture's.

I don't think that's how you're supposed to play Russian Roulette.

[robo_kai]

The best part of this one (after tied up Robin, of course) is that Batman tries to disguise who he is from passersby by putting a fedora and trenchcoat on *over his costume*.

[lovenkisses]

Why is Supes and Batman making robin and jimmy dig graves?

[icon_uk]

They're planning on murdering them, and can't be arsed digging them themselves.

[zordboy]

I have to ask, on the cover that advertises, "The Story of the Year! Robin declares war on Batman!" -- how exactly is Dick going to do that, from being tied to the propeller of an air-plane? I mean, I know Dick's a talented guy and all, but seriously now...

[lovenkisses]

Whoa why are they killing them???

The golden age musta been scary for YOU robin.

[wonderwomanhero]

Aww...he isn't gagged in any of those pictures....boo.

[zordboy]

He is gagged in the cover where he's tied to the clock-hands on the side of the skyscraper.

I like that cover. Heh. Never mind.

[icon_uk]

Sorry, I can't think of any covers where Robin was actually gagged.... But since it's not fair to deprive out new board of gagged Grayson (and Drake too, as it turns out) here's a little sampling. Nothing new, but Dick does "Mffff" in two of them....

[icon_uk]

I can't believe I forgot that one and after posting it too! It is a nice little cover, isn't it? :)

[icon_uk]

That would be telling, but I'll see if I can dig out the issue and post it sometime.

[autumn_lily]

Knowing comics, this is how that would go:

Gothamite #1: "Oh my gosh! I think that's Batman!"
Gothamite # 2: "Are you a moron? Batman doesn't wear a COAT and HAT!"
Gothamite #1: "Oh yeah, my mistake."

[icon_uk]

No one said he WON the war he declared....

[autumn_lily]

No. 51: They aren't even hiding the "Robin's gonna get raped" theme are they?

[icon_uk]

Gothamite #1: "Still... he IS carrying a tied up Robin"
Gothamite # 2: "Oh come on, like THAT narrows the field...."

[icon_uk]

I had to check because there are tied up Robin's on TWO #51's in this collection. Batman 51 and Detective 51.... :)

LOVE the icon, BTW

[autumn_lily]

Gothamite # 2: "Dave down at the corner store did that last week! Batman just followed him for a block, breathing heavily, then punched him in the face and carried the by off!"

Gothamite # 1: "...WHY do we live here again?!"

[autumn_lily]

The one where the guy looks like he's about to MOUNT the boy and Batman has that "NO I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN DO THAT!" look on his face as he grabs him.

Why thank you, it's snaggable.

[sistermagpie]

These...really do make me feel at home. Something about Robin and Jimmy digging their own graves and Robin tied to...tied to anything makes me feel warm and cozy!

[zordboy]

Someone tied up in that position ... I'm sorry, I was gonna end that with a smutty joke, but my brain completely derailed there.

Anyway.

[bluepard]

I'm very confused by the Robin declares war on Batman one. The best I can figure is that Batman tied Robin to the propeller because they were fighting, and a random baddie decided to shoot at Robin? Or maybe the random baddie just thought it was more entertaining to tie Robin up and spin him around before shooting at him ...

Yes, I know I'm overthinking.

[cainofdreaming]

Nice scans all the way, but what is that effin' thing on the King of the Cats cover? It has the head of a some kind of feline, maybe, but the hands of a primate.

Get away from me you freak of a nature, you.

[johnzdrake]

My favorite is the Rancho Fear cover with the contextless rope sailing in from the side as Batman steers unware...

[icon_uk]

Some mad scientists start with a human and make a sexy cat-girl. This guy started with a panther and tried to make it more human? Worked for Dr Moreau...

[icon_uk]

Indeed, though I can imagine the villain feeling compelled to add in a "Yoink!" sound effect as he snatches his prize!

This was reportedly the most popular tourist T-shirt sold in Gotham for the past ten years.

[autumn_lily]

Bwahahaha!

I want that shirt!
