Robin, Vol. 3 by Chuck Dixon6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I dipped my toe into the earlier parts of the Chuck Dixon run, but couldn’t stick with it for reasons I could hardly remember. Like with Peter Parker, Tim was a character whom I could admire as being a relatively normal person who always went of their way to do the right thing. I related to teenaged heroesand there was none more iconic than him at the time. I’ve always been a Marvel zombie, but during my childhood years I really latched onto Tim Drake in a way that was only surpassed by Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four. Eventually, Dixon would leave DC under mysterious circumstances, but his name remains synonymous with Robin as well as this general era of comics publishing. There had never even been a solo ongoing Robin series before that, but Dixon would steward the character and the entire Bat Family franchise across multiple series for roughly a decade. Although not his original creator, Chuck Dixon would go on to write the definitive run for the character which totaled over 100 issues. In 1989, the world would be introduced to Tim Drake, the third teenage superhero to operate under the title Robin as Batman’s sidekick. Our focus this week is the Tim Drake Robin series by legendary writer Chuck Dixon. Each week in Late to the Party, someone posts about an older piece of media that they’ve just experienced for the first time. ![]()
