About the author

Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.

Interesting to see the changes that the character has gone through over the years especially in the time since I quit actively reading comic books. The interviews with the writers and Burt Ward were very enjoyable and enlightening.

I liked that this book contained stories about all five of the Robins. There were several important story lines here (Dick’s origin, Damian meeting Bruce, etc.), as well as a few missions each Robin went on (including some of the original Jason comics, though not his origin story).
Also the origin of Batcow. Very important.

Where is Dick

To me, Dick Grayson will always be the one who comes to mind when I hear the name Robin. And he filled the role far longer than the other Robins. But he only gets three or four stories in this book. Still, some good stories.

I read it for the Dick Grayson tales, but enjoyed the others as well.

Watching these characters evolve (and seeing each Robin in different, crucial moments in their respective eras) was so INCREDIBLE!! Honestly, If I could’ve given this book 1000 stars, I would’ve

There only being one Robin Jason comic in this collection hurts my heart, fantastic collection otherwise.

Loved this. Though, I wanted to see more of Jason, Tim, and Damien, I thought it was a good peak at Robin through the last 80 years.
