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 never really minded him either when I read the run. He was a guy, he seemed to make Donna happy, so I didn't care. Then again, I looked at a lot of it through "80's filter". If he was modern character, he'd annoy the snot out of me. And I'm terribly naive about a lot of things. I really did like the wedding issue though. Mostly for Gar's conniptions and teh fluff.

	Gar was the highlight of that issue. ^_^ Never mind the wedding, let's just see some more of the green guy running around and organizing everything (and doing a surprisingly good job at it, too)! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	With a horribly clashing pink suit, too! Oh, Gar. (Reply to this) (Parent)

I loved Questor, who had been Gar's nemesis (for want of a better term) throughout the series, tearing a strip off of the contractors who were bad-mouthing Gar behind his back, and his realisation that most of Gar's ideas were actually either very good (He's not impressed by the clown who shows up, until Gar explains it's to keep the guests kids amused whilst the adults are busy) or at the very least well intentioned (Not sure the doves were a good idea, I hope everyone put covers on their cars)
