Dick and Clark: A Photo Album

thoughtsaboutdickgrayson:

To remember the beauty that was Dick and Uncle Clark (and said beauty will live forever in our old comics), here are some photos.

***

Back in the Golden Age, the two first “met” on the cover of World’s Best Comics (soon changed to World’s Finest).

The first team-up came in 1952 in the pages of Superman #76, but it was mostly a Batman-Superman story. The tale was redone in World’s Finest #71 (1954), and Robin had a more prominent role. Still, there’s no fanboying because the three are on a serious mission: protecting Clark’s secret identity by trying to convince Lois that Bruce Wayne is Superman. Follow that link: the story becomes insane because Lois is a smart lady and doesn’t fall for Bruce’s weird plans.

Later comics elaborated on Robin and Superman’s first meeting.

Superman/Batman Annual #2 (May 2008)

Widening Gyre #2 (November 2009)

After that, the two had plenty of fun adventures together.

Before Kory, Dick would let Clark carry him to battle.

Sometimes they went behind Bruce’s back:

At other times, Dick had to make peace between Superman and Batman.

Success!

As Dick grew older, he retained his awe of Clark.

And Clark continued to think Dick was the bee’s knees.

When things with Bruce were tough, Clark was there for Dick.

And Clark was proud of the man Dick had become. Clark knew that he could count on Dick for help with the detective work:

or the computer hacking:

Action Comics #842 (October 2006)

or someone to hang out with when you’re waiting to bust some baddies.

When they fought crime together, they had fun.

Nightwing #30 (April 1999)

Clark respected Dick’s leadership and decisions.

They could talk honestly, even in troubled times.

But most of all, they had fun together!

Three cheers for Dick and Clark!
