// Archive commentary
The New Titans #0 arrived during DC's 1994 Zero Month event, a line-wide initiative in which annual numbering was interrupted for a single issue #0 spotlighting each title's origins. Written by longtime Titans architect Marv Wolfman, this issue revisits the formation and early history of the team, folding in appearances by Dick Grayson, Roy Harper, Beast Boy, Mento, and a roster of adversaries including Psimon, Mirage, and the Coven, alongside period-appropriate guest characters Bart Allen, Kyle Rayner, and Damage. The inking chores were split among Harry Candelario, Hector Collazo, and Keith Champagne, with Chris Matthys on colors and John Costanza on letters, typical of the era's collaborative production pipeline for event tie-ins.
Market data for this issue is thin, reflecting its status as a widely available, non-key Zero Month tie-in rather than a sought-after collectible. Certified population remains small, with only a handful of Universal copies graded and just two sales recorded at the top of the census, both at nominal prices. The absence of meaningful sales activity in low and mid grades further underscores that this book trades as a bulk or discount-bin item outside of a small pool of Titans completists and Zero Month specialists.
This issue holds appeal primarily for readers assembling a complete run of The New Titans or collectors pursuing full sets of DC's 1994 Zero Month one-shots, rather than investors seeking appreciation. Across grades, it moves in inexpensive raw form for a few dollars at most, and even top-tier CGC 9.8 examples command only modest premiums given the shallow census and limited sales history. Expect this title to remain a low-cost, easily sourced addition to Titans or Zero Month-themed collections rather than a book driving significant secondary-market activity.
