A serious competition for Terry Long?!
As requested I continue posting random 80's Teen Titans stuff.

So... not happy with Terry Long being Donna's lover? Too old? Too annoying? Too creepy? And on top of that a silly haircut? Well, in New Teen Titans #11-12 (1981) he's getting a rival:



See for yourself if the new guy in town can keep up with Terry!



The context: in an intense battle with Deathstroke Gar got shot and is now on the brink of death. To save their friend the Titans fly off to Paradise Island where Gar hopefully can be healed by the Amazon's Purple Ray. While the girls take Gar down to the island the boys leave for a different mission in Africa. And somewhere else...





Meet Hyperion from the Titans of Myth! And before the obvious encounter with Donna, let's take a quick look and compare him with Terry:

Hair: ... well, give Terry a shave and put some flowers in his hair and they could be brothers.
Age: with more than 30.000 years Hyperion wins here - to be fair, Terry might look old but he's actually only 29.
Factor of annoyance: most of us were a bit angry at Terry because he ruined Dick's speech at the campfire scene, but at least you can get a word out in his presence... not so sure here.
Factor of creepiness: ... I always found the Titans of Myth pretty creepy, too.





Hera help me, too, for I cannot bear his enormous ego...





You heard Kory, Dick is the only real man on earth!



And off they fly... to Tartarus once again. After battling a few cyclopses they manage to free the other Titans of Myth:



Together they decide that it's about time to throw Zeus and the other younger gods from the throne. Also: Kory, Raven and the Amazons are on their way to rescue Donna (bringing even Athena herself along), but Donna being Hyperion's new first lady doesn't really care.
Instead in the next issue they head off to Mount Olympus...






Epic battles are fought there and in the end the Titans of Myth win, turning the younger gods into stone.



Momma's here and she doesn't approve of Donna's new boyfriend.
They try to talk things out. Athena being the awesome mod explains that the new peaceful world the Titans of Myth were talking about unfortunately comes without freedom and free will.



And war they get! Kory frees Zeus and before the situation gets even worse, Athena can finally talk sense into everyone. Everyone? Not quite! Hyperion still has something to bitch about.





I know this single page was already included in the Donna&Terry love story post, but it's the epilogue, I can't leave it out...



I'm so bold to say that with Kyle Donna's taste in men changed for the better.

Rape. It's fine when the gods do it!

Euuuuuuuuuuugh. *pukes* This is disgusting.

But they usually do it as swans or bulls. (I always wondered what it was about Greek women that being king of the gods wasn't good enough...)

Oh sure, like she didn't know that swan was Zeus.

Still, more deniability. Plus Zeus just might be a kinky bastard.

And thus did "doing it ducky style" become a short lived phrase.

Read HTD. you'll find more occasions for it. Like the shower scene in Gerber's final run.

I'm just saying, blame Colan, Winslade and, I think, Dave Sim on the magazine. We're not just talking mental images.

But the images were ina format I'd never see so all I had to worry about were the mental ones.

In your dreams. There are extremely few things that disturb me and you just used up your material. Feel free to give it your best shot though....assuming you make it out of the crash.

Problem with scans is I actually have to look at them for it to be effective.

Plus my twisted mind has conjured images far more horrifying than anythign they would be allowed to print.
