Gar Logan on Space Trek 2022
We didn't have any New Teen Titans stuff recently, and with the scans of Gar Logan's first appearance a few days ago I thought I could dig out the Gar issue from the Tales of the New Teen Titans mini series (1982).
Flashbacks of Gar getting sakutia are repeated every now and then, but the TotNTT mini also has a few nice scenes of Gar's tv show Space Trek 2022 plus the Titans sitting around a camp fire being all cute and kind with each other (which I miss these days).
So, Space Trek, camping Titans, Hot Dog drama and Gar Logan in top shape are right ahead:







The setting: the Titans are on a camping trip to spend time with each other while not fighting bad guys. Vic and Raven already talked about their past, and now it's Gar's turn. He starts with his sickness, the death of his parents and the Doom Patrol and then comes to his days as an actor. Oh, and he has trouble with his hot dogs...



Love the parody here... Tiffany's costume is just a big NO, though (but look how cuddly Dick and Donna are...)



I'd seriously love to watch that show.







Gar and Jillian were dating some time ago. Of course, the happy days don't last long: the Arsenal kidnappes the girl. Unfortunately Gar doesn't have his costume at hand, so he loses his normal clothes while changing into a bird to follow them (except for his pants, apparently).





And here's Perez drawing Gar with full body hair...
While Jillian's bound to some kinda rack, Gar gets trapped in an airtight cage with electrified walls. The identity of the Arsenal is finally revealed: it's Gar's ex-guardian Galtry, who only wanted Gar's money. He plans to get it now in exchange for Jillian's life. Gar has to call home, but can't get Questor to send the money, so Galtry runs off with Jillian and leaves Gar to suffocate...



Gar frees himself, follows Galtry and Jillian, changes into several animals, beats the villain and rescues the damsel in distress. Sadly I can't show the rest because I'm hitting the page limit.

Instead have a short look at the shirt Donna's wearing at night (from the prior issue):



... it just has to be custom-made.

Kory's breasts are rather tremendous.

I don't understand Dick's Lizzie Borden joke. Gar says he's a great cooker of hot dogs, but he keeps letting them burn up in the fire? I assume Dick's referring to Lizzie Borden allegedly murdering her father and stepmother with a hatchet? Why would Lizzie Borden teach him to burn his hot dogs? Is it some very confusing reference to the mutton breakfast on that hot August day? I don't get it, Dick!

Lizzie Borden? Perhaps the no remourse part... as in destroying the hotdogs without remourse.

does Kory have on the dreaded purple arrow shorts she had on in other parts of the camping trip?

The only thing I can think of is the burning of the 'light blue dress' and/or axe handle.

Big stretch to hot dogs, Dick, even if that is it. I don't get it either.

I noticed that too and thought: Dick, I thought you were supposed to be the wit.

Oh wait, I forgot: his thing is puns.

I think he was usually drawn with a young Mickey Rooney as a guide, and he really could look that odd, even as a kid.

This was a classic (1986?). I was 13 or so at the time and Changeling became one of my favorite characters. Along with Power Pack and, yes, Booster Gold.

Hey, porcupines can't really fire their quills. That's just in cartoons.

Then again, my understanding is that Changeling can turn into fictional animals, so who knows how it's supposed to work...

Yes, Gar can become fictional creatures.

And note that Dick says "knowing you", which might suggest imply "ignoring anything to do with biology, this WOULD work, and that means you'd probably give it a try".

Nice to see that when they think "inescapable death traps" even the TITANS first thought is "Robin!" :)

Even if they could, breaking glass? That's pretty out-there.

I don't see why he couldn't turn into a strong animal with long claws and break the glass that way, like a bear.

Gar can become real animals, and animals he's seen. That includes ones on TV, in movies, in pictures. He just needs to visualize it.

Leading me to wonder: has anyone ever really explored how far his powers might actually go? And that it's not just animals, really, he can potentially become?

This gives me warm fuzzies. The first comic I ever read was the Gar-centric story where someone's after his old castmates in one of the vol. 3 TT trades. I never knew it had a canonical basis!

but look how cuddly Dick and Donna are...

Whilst I would never argue the sheer huggability of Dick Grayson, I think it's more that they are just completely relaxed and comfortable around each other. It's part of what makes this team of Titans so interesting, I really can't imagine Tim and Cassie EVER being as relaxed with each other as their "elder siblings" took for granted.

You know, I wouldn't dare to be a sci-fi writer in a superhero universe. Whatever name or appearance one might come up with for an alien race, something out there could have it.

And then come to Earth and sue for defamation.

Or declare war.

This seems like the best place to drop in a contextless panel.


And the icon version, free to anyone.

Ah, Beast Boy. Ironically, the only character to consistently have body hair.

I wonder if this story eventually made its way to Roy's ears.

"The Arsenal, huh? Cool name."

I would have given anything to see Gar emerge from under the drawbridge as Yosemite Sam. :D
