Raven Looks at Changeling in a New Way

Raven is doing her empath thing with the victim of a drug overdose.

Unfortunately, that person has been taking hallucinogens.

This is a detail from the third very special anti-drug(s) issue of The New Teen Titans, available for free downloading in all its TIFF glory from the University of Nebraska.

	Very Special Episodes really were a hallmark of the '80s, weren't they? (Reply to this)

	Ok, just one question; who was the guy in the blue suit with the star? Was that Robin in a new costume before he became Nightwing? Was his normal costume at the cleaners? Is it a temp? What the hell? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Well he WAS Robin but then, thanks to the magical power of licensing conflicts, he became Jason Hart, the Protector.... there's a detailed history here (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Trippy. I like the word repetition effect. (Reply to this)

	I'm still waiting for the DC version of the Very Special Episode like the one they did in Marvel with Spiderman on the 'bad touch'. I have a disturbing feeling it'll involve Deathstroke and Dick...err-Nightwing-you know what I mean. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	The closest I can think of are issues #17-18 of Titans, in which Arsenal takes Damage and Lian camping, and Damage breaks down over abuse at the hands of his foster-father. The topic was handled veeery tastefully, if I recall... The title of #18 is "Damaged Goods." wince (Reply to this) (Parent)

Wow. Pot may not work that way, but according to someone I know who experimented with acid in the 80s, that's actually a pretty damn accurate depiction of what some trips look like. (Of course, he also mentions having had a trip--the one that saw him decide to quit hallucinogens--where he sat down in front of the Atari at 2AM and proceeded to run a full season of Pole Position... only to realize afterwards that he'd never turned on the Atari or the TV, so...)
