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.

Date: 2009-05-25 01:59 pm (UTC)Several addition TPBs have been released over the last couple of years, most notably collecting the Judas Contract, NTT #28-34 (Terra joins the team/the first fight between the Titans and the Brotherhood of Evil/the introduction of Vigilante), a very badly put together Donna Troy compliation that was omits a key storyline in Titans history (Danny Chase being kicked to the curb by Nightwing after he badmouths Jason Todd to Dick's face after Todd's death), and one that reprints the final Titans vs Trigon storyline, which unfortunately omits the final chapter of the arc because Perez didn't draw the denouncement issue at the very end, leaving the storyline unresolved.
