Donna Troy and Terry Long: A Love Story
In this post I will be showing the classic romance of Donna Troy and Terry Long, by Marv Wolfman and George Perez.
We first meet Terry in The New Teen Titans #8.
Later...
Then in #9...
This scene from #12 takes place after the "Titans of Myth" storyline, where Hyperion entranced Donna and made her fall in love with him.
#13 has Donna taking her anger out on some criminals.
#20 is narrated by Wally West, who's writing a letter to his parents.
In #28...
#29...
#30...
#31...
#34...
#38 is the "Who is Donna Troy?" issue.
Dick helps Donna find out the truth about her past; her mother Dorothy Hinckley gave her up for adoption because she had terminal cancer and was dying. She was adopted by Carl and Fay Stacey. When Carl died in a job-related accident, Fay had little money left and was forced to give Donna up for re-adoption, where she was put into a child-selling operation. The bodies in the fire Donna remembered were of the people who were planning on selling her. Donna is reunited with Elmira Cassiday, the woman who ran the orphanage Dorothy went to, and Fay, who had gotten remarried.
Tales of the Teen Titans #42 takes place during the "Judas Contract" storyline.
In #45, Terry has his bachelor party.
#48...
#49...
In the double-sized #50, Donna and Terry finally get married.
Later, Diana tells Donna and Terry that they need to come with her.

I know the jokes about Kyle killing every woman he gets close to but wha? They had broken up some time before "Graduation Day", and she wasn't even dead - the last page of the book showed her alive on the Titans' world.

Actually more seriously I always did wonder what was meant by that epilogue after the funeral with her dicking around on New Cronus or whatever it was called (especially after all that "NO SHIT GUYS WE REALLY MEAN THIS ONE" talk at the funeral). I mean, the whole "Return of Donna Troy" arc was kind of rushed and vague and had this real "Hey it's the Crisis we need her around" feel to it, and prior to that there had been the odd vague hints (Diana commenting that Donna's not in Elysium springs to mind) that there was some kind of wider long-term arc planned out that just never managed to happen.
