The cause of my passing out in action was psychosomatic-- Deep down I've got an inferiority complex... I'm nowhere near being the kind of hero you guys are! So, to cover the fact that I'm worthless to the team, I subconsciously made myself sick--so you wouldn't see how useless I am! Now at least, I can face my problem and tell you all about it...and quit!

Teen Titans #51 is an issue of the series Teen Titans (Volume 1) with a cover date of November, 1977.
Synopsis for "Titans East! Titans West! And Never (?) the Teens Shall Meet!"
Lilith and her "Titans West" group, including Gnarrk, rescue victims of more incredible disasters, and discover a connection between these events and the crimes of Captain Calamity on the East Coast. Robin and the Titans' "first team" defeat Captain Calamity's henchmen, and Kid Flash and Wonder Girl rejoin their teammates just in time to hear Aqualad announce his resignation: he has diagnosed his "fainting spells" as a psychosomatic illness brought on by his feelings of inferiority and uselessness to the land-based Titans team.

Trivia
- Gnarrk's most recent appearance was in Teen Titans #39.
- This issue is the first issue that Beast Boy appears fully green in color during his transformations. Before this issue, Gar's transformations had him looking like the animal he shape-shifted into, except that the animal's head would be green and would have hair on its head like Gar does, even if the animal would not normally have hair on top of its head. Beast Boy's transformations were still like this in the previous issue, but for issues #51-52, Gar's animal forms were also green for the first time. His transformations still had his swooping hair, but that characteristic of his transformations would be later removed by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez during the New Teen Titans, where he appears next after this multi-part storyline.
