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.
