Wolfman and Perez meet the Teen Titans... for real.
I've got more New Teen Titans crack for you (yeah, blame me for re-reading the 1980's NTT comics and finding funny stuff here and there).
This time it's a short story that was attached to New Teen Titans #20 (from 1982), in which Marv Wolfman and George Perez meet our favourite teen heroes.
Oh, and it also includes a mad scientist named Igor Igorigorigorivich, his dumb assistant, a few killer robots and the whole crew behind the comic. And if that's not enough, have a small teaser:

So, what made Wolfman and Perez create this story? Were drugs involved? Did they lose a bet? ~~And the biggest question: will there be another dance scene?~~

~~Do the weird poses in the bottom left panel count as dancing poses?~~

If there's any interest I can continue posting random 80's Teen Titans stuff, just say so.

	"Boy, this'll make a great special effect when I wake up!" That's George, taking Kirby Dots to the next level. With RINGS! (Reply to this)

	From some of the drawing I have seen surface in the last few years I think Perez is quit a perv. I think a secret stash of kinky drawing will be discovered upon his death somehow.:) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I once read an article where Perez bragged that, when he designed Scarlet Witch's "gypsy" outfit, he made sure she was not wearing underwear. So, yeah, dirty old man, at least. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, he's a dirty old man. And God bless him for it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_gunny827 2009-09-06 06:57 pm UTC (link)
	heh, yeah, he is. I've run across him a few times. Him and Larry Elmore will come right out and tell you they're dirty old men. I even let Larry take pictures of my backside (I was clothed) because he needed a quick model for a commission fetish piece he was working on while at the con. It was awesome.

	OT, but your icon is disturbingly adorable. Or maybe adorably disturbing. I'm not sure which. Anyway, I like it. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	icon_uk 2009-09-06 09:22 pm UTC (link)
	No, he's quite open about it and his stash of kinky stuff is readily available in everything from "Sachs and Violens" to the link posted elsewhere on this thread. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's extremely creepy. And how come Donna is the only Titan who doesn't speak in this? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mysteryfan 2009-09-06 08:11 pm UTC (link)
	No idea. But could be I'm still a little weirded out by the whole 'apologizing to a stuffed animal' deal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think the best part is where the Titans make their entrance, there's a little sign on the ground that says, "Perez Debris" because.. well.. no one can draw rubble like Perez! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	You can't read it at this size, so I dug out my copy - first page scanned here, the note on the bulletin board next to Donna's stabbed headshot reads: Eggs Milk Butter Raygun Ketchup (<3) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	kamino_neko 2009-09-06 06:55 pm UTC (link)
	In that first panel pre-cut, I thought Wolfman was so flustered at meeting Starfire he was calling himself Mary. It was funnier that way, so I'm going to pretend it's true. >_> (Reply to this)

	I like how the mad scientist's Igor dude looks almost exactly like Brian Van Hoose. (Reply to this)

	Eh. I bet it holds up just as well as that X-Men parody in First's E-Man. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	That's actually a fun one; the Dark Albatross Saga... I have a copy of part of it somewhere! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Well, since I brought it up... My real name is Igor Igorevich Studenkov. As I said - uncomfortably close. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sun_soraya 2009-09-07 06:52 pm UTC (link)
	As I said - uncomfortably close Maybe - but yours sounds a lot better. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You should emphasize the first syllable of your last name. 'Yes, I am Igor STUDenkov.' >_> (Reply to this) (Parent)

	THIS, THIS, THIS! 80's Teen Titans (and, of all things, Micronauts) were what got me seriously reading comics back in the day. Up to then they were good, and fun, and I loved them, but I wasn't serious about it. New TT was the first series I ever had a complete run of. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Spent some time with Marv and Len at a couple conventions, they are really great guys and incredibly humble considering all they created or worked on (Reply to this) (Thread)

	nezchan 2009-09-07 01:57 am UTC (link)
	I saw Marv at a con back when he was still working on New TT, and he was hilarious. He and the Fan GoH (Gregg Hagglund, back when he was running the Dorsai Irregulars) played off each other like they'd been at it for years. Magic stuff. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I had totally forgotten this story and it is awesome. Just like until you posted it, I had totally forgotten how cool this series was(and how much better than its rival, the X-Men, it was). (Reply to this) (Thread)

	sun_soraya 2009-09-07 02:39 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I know. Every time I take a look at my 80's Titans stuff I'm totally in love with the series again. Will definitely post more. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	khaosworks 2009-09-07 05:58 am UTC (link)
	I loved this when it first came out - an obvious homage to the Marvel Bullpen pieces they use to do with Stan, Jack and the rest of them in the 60s. I decided "Talk? I'll sing! I'll dance! I'll even recite the Koran!" would be part of my vocabulary if I ever was captured and interrogated. Fortunately, I've never had occasion to use it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	jlroberson 2009-09-07 06:18 am UTC (link)
	Not just that but Kurtzman and Elder. One thing about understanding Perez' style many overlook is that he absorbed just as much Elder, Wood and Marie Severin as anything; this is where the way he fills panels with detail comes from. (Reply to this) (Parent)
