The Tales of the Teen Titans #44 in context
Why collectors care
The issue in which Dick Grayson becomes Nightwing, cover-dated July 1984, as part of "The Judas Contract." Retiring Robin for a fully adult identity was a landmark for the character and created one of DC's most durable heroes.

Common mistakes
Searching only under "New Teen Titans" and missing the book, or vice versa. Both names attach to this run; the issue number and 1984 cover date are the reliable identifiers.
Grade considerations
A mid-80s book with strong survival in high grade, so value concentrates at CGC 9.8. The dark cover panels show edge wear that caps many copies at 9.6.
