Protector (comics)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the Marvel Comics character, see Protector (Marvel Comics).

The Protector (Jason Hart) is a character who replaces Robin temporarily in the 1983 The New Teen Titans drug issues written by Marv Wolfman and penciled by George Pérez.

The book was sponsored by Keebler, and Robin was at the time licensed by Nabisco so the Protector was used as a substitute. Coinciding with the issue was an anti-drug cartoon television advertisement that may have been a test for a Titans television show. As Robin was already a member of the popular Super Friends he would not have been available. ^[1] Despite the fact that he hardly appeared outisde of the Drug Issue comics he is regarded as a member of the team as confirmed in the "DC Who's Who Update 1987" comic.

Jason finally made another appearance in the Infinite Crisis hardcover collected edition in an added two-page spread.
