Tim Drake from the beginning – introduction

For a while now, I have been busy collecting most of the important issues featuring Tim Drake (the third Robin) from his first appearance up to the end of Chuck Dixon's run on his solo title. I've also been reading them, and now I want to review them.

Inspired by the threads in the Marvel forums on CBR that review every issue of X-Men and Excalibur "from the beginning," I am going to do the same thing here, but following this specific character, rather than a specific title. There might be a few holes in my run, but I'll review everything I can get my hands on without too much effort.

Here's an outline of the issues I plan to go through:

• Batman Year Three (Batman #436-439)
• A Lonely Place of Dying (Batman #440-442, New Titans #60-61)
• Rite of Passage (Detective #618-621)
• Robin: A Hero Reborn (Batman #455-457)
• Robin I (mini-series)
• Debut (Batman #465)
• No More Heroes (Batman #466)
• Shadow Box (Batman #467-469)
• Robin II (mini-series)
• To the Father I Never Knew (Batman #480)
• Detective Comics #647-649
• Robin III: Cry of the Huntress (mini-series)
• Robin ongoing #1-100

I might throw in a few additional issues of Batman or Detective in there if they happen to tie in with the Robin ongoing. We'll see.

This is going to be fun.
