Publication History
In 1982, the Uncanny X-Men and the New Teen Titans shared a lot of similarities. Besides high popularity and strong sales, both books were helmed by respected, established writers, in Chris Claremont (X-Men) and Marv Wolfman (Teen Titans). Both titles featured strong character development and a young core of rookie heroes struggling with teenage angst and its attendant problems, all wrapped up in a superhero context.
Given the best-selling success of each title, Marvel and DC recognized the high sales potential of a jointly-published crossover book, with X-Men writer Chris Claremont scripting the book.
Walt Simonson and Terry Austin provide the art. The book was lettered by usual X-Men letterer Tom Orzechowski, and edited by the X-Men's Louise Jones. Teen Titans's Len Wein acted as DC's liaison with Marvel on the project.

Famous quotes containing the words publication and/or history:
“An action is the perfection and publication of thought. A right action seems to fill the eye, and to be related to all nature.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I believe that in the history of art and of thought there has always been at every living moment of culture a “will to renewal.” This is not the prerogative of the last decade only. All history is nothing but a succession of “crises”Mof rupture, repudiation and resistance.... When there is no “crisis,” there is stagnation, petrification and death. All thought, all art is aggressive.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
