Rich Buckler - Batman 241 Robin Backup Page 1 - Early Draft?

Here is a real oddity. Found this in an auction and got it for a song.



A while later I bought the back issue the story appeared in and discovered that though the text was the same, it was completely different from the one I had.



This is clearly an early draft, with Robin running down a street and up stairs clearly not being as exciting as the final version of him swinging in a batline and breaking in through a window!



The art itself is also odd (Though clearly Rich Bucklers work) as the piece with Terri sitting in her chair is an insert, with the appropriate space on the main page (From the edge of Robin's right leg to the end of the page) cut out to make room.



Curious, but I like the original better, the final version makes Robin look like he's disco dancing on the "Welcome" mat :)

This piece can be seen in the new "Batcave Companion" book from Twomorrows publishing.
