Celebrate Your Favorite Robin with DC Comics Robin 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular #1 Decade Variant Covers!
The Boy Wonder turns 80 this year! DC is planning to celebrate comic’s most popular side-kick in March with a bevy of wonderful variant covers for their newest Prestige Format release Robin 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular #1. Just as an aside, I had some sweet Robin pjs when I was a kid, and was Robin one Halloween in my early ’30s. PLUS, my birthday is in March too! So happy birthday Dick, Jason, Carrie, Tim, Damien, et al!
Here’s the official word from DC Comics themselves:
