Teen Titans #9 (On Sale: March 14, 1967) has a Nick Cardy cover. Some nice Cardy figures are marred by the ever stupid Go-Go Checks, the child-like Robin bust in the logo and some lack-luster coloring. Within a few months Nick Cardy will explode on the covers and completely transform this book. One thing interesting on this cover is the showcasing of Kid Flash rather than Robin who was on the weekly Batman TV show. They wouldn't make this mistake often.The book-length "The Big Beach Rumble" is by Bob Haney, Irv Novick and Nick Cardy. The Teen Titans are asked to help quell possible violence in the town of Baxter Beach, scene of the annual spring jamborees of two rival colleges. Robin challenges the destructive energies of both groups into buildings a stone jetty to prevent the beach from being slowly eroded away by the ocean, thus avoiding a riot between the two colleges and between the students and the local authorities. But when the submarine of Captain Tiger, a modern-day pirate, runs aground on the jetty, both the townsfolk and the Titans are helpless before the pirates' superior weaponry
