A few comic questions

[Barb Gordon]

hey all! Well, I've got some cash, yay for X-mas, and so I need to go spend it now! But, I'd like some help for the numbers or series names on a few comics I want to check out:

Bruce gives the mantle to Azrael, and then Dick has to come and make things better and take on the mantle himself.

There's one where on the cover Dick and Babs are on a trapeze bare together.

When Babs and Dick have their first kiss (I think that might be a NML one, not sure)

When Bruce adopts Dick

When Dick and the others form the Titans

Anything with Dick and Kory concerned

And lastly, the early one when Dick first loses his parents.

lol, well, I think that's it. Happy Holidays everyone!

Best of luck to you in finding them! Since I basically only follow animated continuity now, I wouldn't be of much help. In any case, Happy Boxing Day shopping!

Hey,

I'm gonna answer these best I can, so here goes:

Bruce gives the mantle to Azrael, and then Dick has to come and make things better and take on the mantle himself.
The first part of the question is the last 5 - 6 parts of Knightfall, so I'd recommend getting the two Knightfall tradepaperbacks if you can. If not: Batman #497 - 500. As for when Dick comes to take on the mantle...well...that's also complicated. There was an arc called KnightsEnd where Bruce and Azreal duke it out for the mantle that lasted nine issues. Then there was a 12 part arc called Prodigal where Dick took up the mantle. These issues will be clearly labeled on the cover witht he story arc name - so you should have no problem. But, early isuse sof Robin (specifically # 10 - 15) play big parts when Dick firts gets the mantle.

Birds of Prey #8 (Going for $40!)

When Babs and Dick have their first kiss (I think that might be a NML one, not sure)
Also the above mentioned issue, I believe.

When Bruce adopts Dick
You mean officially? I'm pretty sure it's Batman: Gotham Knights #18, which is apart of a two part Batman/Nightwing story.

Anything with Dick and Kory concerned
That's alot of issues right there. Try any issue of The New Teen Titan, The Titans from the early 80s - early 90s.

And lastly, the early one when Dick first loses his parents.
Well, if you can afford a $20,000 comic (at least) it's Detective Comics #38, but there was a recent Robin annual dubbed Year: One which dealt with his origin. Or try and beautifully done Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #100.

Hope that helps...
