  It's a very special Christmas episode of "Taking Flight" as I put aside all of the Dick Grayson/Jason Todd/Tim Drake drama and take a look at Teen Titans #13 from 1967 for a classic tale worthy of Charles Dickens himself … or at least worthy of Bob Haney. So step into the wayback machine, cool cats, because it's "The TT's Swingin' Christmas Carol!"
