She asked me what other trades were available featuring Stephanie as Robin and Spoiler and I drew a blank. As a supporting character, I know she appears here and there, in some of the Batgirl trades featuring Cassandra Cain, for example, or in the big Bat-crossovers, but are there any, like, Stephanie/Spoiler/Robin IV-heavy trades you guys can think of to recommend...?
Thanks!
Not a fan (though, I could be, if I`d actually have more than story of her). But, I am an avid Comic vine-user.
ReplyDeleteAs you know, she was an important character in the fourth Robin-volume, as well as Cassandras own series.
Then there`s her first appearances in Detective 647-649. Uncollected.
Appeared in most Gotham
Underground issues, but don`t know if she got to do much. Don`t know if the series is even worth a look.
Gotham knights 22 (team-up with Batsy, vs. The Joker) and 37.
Birds of prey tie-in issues to Bruce Wayne: Fugitive. Also, Bruce Wayne fugitive. Hell, maybe she was integral to the plot.
Yeah, prolly not.
Batman:Family-mini. She gets to shine in ish 2.
Teen titans 13 shows a brief fight between her and Superboy. If she`s a super fan/fanatic,then...
maybe...?
Red Robin: Collision (which also collects ish 8 of Stephs own series). Also a few appearances here and there in the series.
Young Justice 30 has her fighting a YJ team member. Also appears in 49-51 and 54. The YJ-trades collect 1-25. = /
The one-shot Huntress/Spoiler: Blunt trauma.
Batman: Leviathan strikes (Which I thought about leaving out, since...it`s one part of a, what, 80 part-saga? But, it`s a pretty good Steph-story).
Batman Chronicles 22. Is the star of a short story.
My advice for her: Look for loads of back issues and trades. Follow Batman Eternal.
Also...if really desperate...War games...
IIRC, she's a Chaykin creation, so any collections from his run on Robin should probably feature her and her teen pregnancy stuff...
ReplyDeleteThe Batman: War Drums collection shows Stephanie's arrival as Robin. Her departure is in the War Games volumes that follow.
ReplyDeleteBatgirl, #53, is one of the more satisfying single-issue stories from her tenure in that costume.
Chuck Dixon was the writer who created Stephanie Brown/Spoiler, originally expecting her to be a one-time character. Fan response prompted him to bring her back as a major supporting character in Robin, starting with that magazine’s first arc in Robin: Flying Solo.
