Nick Cardy cover FTW!
Teen Titans no. 4 (Aug 1966) cover by Nick Cardy. This is the first time Green Arrow’s sidekick Speedy shows up in the book, not as a full-fledged member of the team, but as a guest star. He’ll be back eventually. I really like this cover. Nice perspective, cool blue background.
