For reading and purchasing purposes, I wanted to know the numbers of the issues in which Dick Grayson appears. I couldn't find a magic button that would just tell me what 451 issues of TEC Dick was in, so I clicked through them all. If anyone knows what button I am looking for, please let me know!
Anyway, I made a list of the issue numbers for Dick's pre-reboot appearances. Please let me know what I missed! I eventually got tired, so I didn't check Green Lantern for instance. I could also use info on annuals. I did not include Elseworlds (I have nothing against them, but I got tired of scrolling through pages and pages of info on comics). I also did not include New 52 because that should be a separate list. However, if you want to add some Elseworlds or New 52 info, that would be great and much appreciated.
Please let me know what I missed! Please also let me know if I have included an issue that doesn't actually feature Dick very much. If I'm going to spend the money, I want more Dick rather than less.
Thanks for your help! (Aside from Comic Vine, I also used Aussie Nightwriter’s Dick Grayson Appreciation Site (http://www.dickgrayson.net/) which is pretty awesome).
