World's Finest Three: When Kon and Tim met for the first time

[sun_soraya]

mllesays asked for early interactions between Tim and Conner, so I'm posting a few pages from the World's Finest Three mini-series (1996), where they met for the first time.





What happened so far: Metallo got tired of destroying Metropolis and tries out Gotham for a change. Oh, and he stole a nuclear reactor. Unfortunately, Batman is out of town and Robin has to take care of a big, tank-like Metallo on his own, which - he fears - is a bit out of his league.







Poor Timmy... though Superboy is totally busy kissing "Miss Kryptonite"-contestants, he takes off to Gotham when he hears that Metallo is on the rampage there.
And as if all that isn't already trouble enough, Poison Ivy felt danger approaching the city, got sick, manipulated the meds taking care of her on their way to the hospital and is now running around freely.
In the meantime Tim tracked down Metallo...



(Ok, I admit that I only posted this scan because of the combination of metallic tentacles and a Robin. *cough*)
A~and Kon arrives!













Kon manages to destroy the currently blind Metallo, but brings the building down as well.













Time for Tim to pack out the kryptonite ring.

If there's interest, I could also post scans of the second part tomorrow.

Oh good, I'm not the only one! I'm not a fan of the hair cut he's sporting here, but it's waaaay better than the straight-and-narrow buzz-cut he's sporting now...

No! You are so not the only one. I think he was my first fictional person crush.

The leather jacket, hair and earring did me in when I was like 10, I guess!

Oh my, that's cute.
My first fictional person crush was Dick (what a surprise... sometimes I think I was born with it), but I had a thing for Tim back then.

Superboy doesn't have a buzz cut.

My bad, it's so short I thought it was.
