Kory, Raven, Dick, and not too much clothing
From the New Teen Titans #39, January 1988 - my formative comics years - comes some fun Edwardo Barretto art.

Oh yes, and there's a story too - Raven is able to feel emotions, falls for Dick Grayson, and seems to be trying to make him fall in love with her as well. Kory provides some emotional counselling in Tahiti for her, and while they're away, Dick moves in with Kory. Various relationship talks are had while lying around not fully dressed.

We start the comic with:

Dick! Dick! Dick! Dick! ...

I did mention not many clothes, right?

"Love should be between two people." - Dick Grayson, 1988

In the interests of space, removed a few pages showing Raven happily making people happy, and Kory requesting to talk to Raven. They teleport to Tahiti...

In the rest of the issue, Raven goes to a party held by other Titans (I do believe Terry Long is there), and Kory and Dick discuss how her marriage with Karras is really just a peace treaty.

Sigh - I miss Kory and Dick as a couple... They just always made sense to me.

Have to say, aside from anything else, I've just fallen in love with your icon! Cypher forever! (Even if my sad inner geek remembers that it's from the page where Kitty reads the "Thank you" note from Doug's parents saying saying they understood why she couldn't be at his funeral :( )

This is a fun soap-opera-ish story, featuring three friends who actually care about each other (And also probably fantasise about every permutation of group nookie it's possible to have between a girl who evolved from a cat, the world's greatest acrobat (and the eponymous "Bendy Robin") and a woman who's mastery of meditation probably makes her a tantric master just waiting to happen!)

Why can't we have nice sunny stories like this nowadays? pouts...

Oh, and this

is such a great image of the pair of them! I mean, look at that adorable little smile he has...

	That was totally my favorite picture. Though you do feel the lack of pupils there with Kory, who isn't able to be as expressive. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Whoever this artist is, I want them back. Dick is so gorgeous - I'm a-drooling here! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's Eduardo Barreto, a Uraguyan artist who does indeed have a lovely, lovely style, with both guys AND gals, though agreed, his Dick Grayson is singularly huggable. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I find it funny that the artist is currently drawing Judge Parker (the newspaper comic strip). I agree - I loved Barreto's Titans art work! (Reply to this) (Parent)
