CARDY - Teen Titans 20 ( unpublished pages )

There are various accounts of how this story had to be rewritten and mostly redrawn by Neal Adams with Cardy inks. Here are some of Nick's pages that were not used in the published story.

The story, "Titans Fit the Battle of Jericho!", was written by Marv Wolfman and Len Wein. Nick was inking it and DC famously killed the story. It would've introduced a black character. DC basically had no black characters at the time. And he likely would not become an ongoing character. Nick laid out the story and it was already lettered. Apparently some of the dialogue was too "over the top" for DC. Neal Adams wrote and penciled a new story in a few days time (also famously). Nick inked the story and I think at least one of his original pages was used. So the art was not published. Not because of aesthetics but due to controversy, for lack of a better word.

Teen Titans 26 introduced Mal Duncan, a non-powered teen in the ghetto who informally joined the team in that issue. Mal was a member of the team, appearing in almost all the remaining issues until the title was cancelled at issue 43. Then his character went through various iterations where he became the Guardian, Hornblower and Vox.

And then almost 2 years later after Teen Titans 20, John Stewart (Green Lantern) appeared.

I'm interested in acquiring more of the unpublished pages from this story.
