EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK at the groovy Robin 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular #1 variant…

Decade-tribute covers have become The Thing for big anniversary and milestone issues and in January, we showed you the eight for March 11’s one-shot Robin 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular #1. (Click here to check them out in all their unlettered glory.)
