The first "Robin" miniseries was printed in 1992 following Tim Drake's debut as Robin. The series centered around Tim's continued training and set up villains linked to the character. It was followed up by another series "Robin II: The Joker's Wild!", which pitted Tim against his predecessor's murderer the Joker. With Batman out of town, it was up to Tim and Alfred to end the Joker's latest crime spree. A final miniseries, "Robin III: Cry of the Huntress" wrapped up the trilogy, teaming Tim with the Huntress. In 1993, the success of the three miniseries led to the ongoing "Robin" series, which ran 183 issues until 2009. The title was replaced by a "Batman and Robin" series following the "Battle for the Cowl" miniseries, as well as an ongoing "Red Robin" monthly which continues the story of Tim Drake.
