Every time I think I can’t love George Perez’ take on Dick Grayson any more, I see new work he’s done and fall for it all over again.
George posted the story behind it on his Facebook, but since I know not everyone likes linking directly to there here’s the text…
Yesterday, Carol and I were treated to Crosby, Stills and Nash concert at the Hard Rock Cafe by a dear young friend (and comics fan) Eugene Schnee. Eugen is also a big fan of Dick Grayson, both as Robin and Nightwing. He had asked if I could do a little sketch of the character. This is the piece I gave him as we met him at the Hard Rock. The big smile on his face was especially gratifying! A reaction like that is just one of the many reasons being a comic book artist is so much fun!Whoever Eugen is, I envy him like CRAZY!

I wanted to add this to that photoset I just reblogged, but I didn’t want to mess it up. Anyway, this is the first panel I think of when I hear “Robin bondage”. From New Teen Titans v1 #22.

“I hate to let you in on this pal, but you are only human.”
I’m just waiting for Dick’s spectacular, earth-shattering collapse here. Or break-up with Kory because of his constant over-achieving.
