I have been having a hard time saying that this month marks the 40th anniversary of the first appearance of Jason Todd. It just doesn’t seem like to could be that long ago, but it absolutely is. And so, to celebrate the anniversary of the angriest Robin (well, Damian does give him some competition), we’re looking at three stories from Jason’s long history, from his first appearance to his return from the dead.
CW: Sexual assault; self harm; suicide
- Enter Jason Todd & Killer Croc (Batman V.1 #357-359/Detective Comics V.1 #524-526)
- Consequences (Batman V.1 #424-425)
- Daedalus & Icarus: The Return of Jason Todd (Batman V.1 Annual #25)

Matt Lazorwitz read his first comic at the age of five. It was Who's Who in the DC Universe #2, featuring characters whose names begin with B, which explains so much about his Batman obsession. He writes about comics he loves, and co-hosts the creator interview podcast WMQ&A with Dan Grote.
Will Nevin loves bourbon and AP style and gets paid to teach one of those things. He is on Twitter far too often.
