School is out for summer, and stepbrothers Phineas and Ferb are determined to make each day an exciting adventure through their outlandish inventions. Their elaborate projects frequently cause trouble for their older sister, Candace, who is constantly trying to catch them in the act and show their mother the evidence of their antics. Despite her efforts, the boys always manage to evade getting caught. Meanwhile, the family’s pet platypus, Perry, leads a secret double life as Agent P, a skilled operative who regularly battles the evil Dr. Doofenshmirtz. Dr. Doofenshmirtz is intent on taking over the Tri-State Area, but Perry’s quick thinking and bravery consistently thwart his plans.

FINALLY REVEALED! FROM THE DC VAULT: THE UNPUBLISHED ALTERNATE ENDING TO A DEATH IN THE FAMILY IN WHICH JASON TODD SURVIVES HIS ENCOUNTER WITH THE JOKER! What if one of the darkest hours in Batman’s crime-fighting career never happened? Thirty-five years ago, fans voted on Jason Todd’s fate after his brutal encounter with The Joker, which set Jason on the path to becoming the gun-toting vigilante Red Hood. But suppose fans had voted differently… DC Comics transports you back in time with this special faux-simile edition of Batman #428 in which Robin lives! Featuring pages reconstructed from artist Jim Aparo’s alternate art boards–which have been plucked from the DC vault and fully restored and remastered–this reedited version of A Death in the Family, Book Three turns the Dark Knight’s greatest tragedy into a moment of triumph. Adding to the immersive authenticity of this alternate-history comic book, this version includes all the ads from the original 1988 edition plus a rewritten letters column.
Explore an alternate fate for Jason Todd in DC‘s “faux-simile” coming December 12, 2023. During the “Gotham City Confidential” panel at New York Comic Con 2023, DC announced plans to release a never-before-seen story from its vault. It’s an alternate ending to one of DC’s most polarizing events that took place in Batman #428.
Batman #428‘s “faux-simile” release this December reprints the penultimate chapter of “A Death in the Family,” with a new twist. It’ll feature a previously unpublished ending to the issue. In this version, Jason Todd survives his brutal enounter with The Joker.
“A Death in the Family” was released 35 years ago and was a pretty dark comic in which fans decided Jason’s fate. Dialing into a 900 number (kids, ask your parents), people voted if Jason should live or die. The vote received 10,614 responses and Jason’s fate was decided by 72 votes, 5,343 to 5,271.
This “faux-simile” edition features original story and art from the from “A Death in the Family” storytelling team – writer Jim Starlin, artist Jim Aparo, colorist Adrienne Roy, inker Mike DeCarlo, and letterer John Costanza.

Comic creator Mike DeCarlo‘s wife has suffered a horrible accident having been hit by a car. On March 24th Tracy DeCarlo was struck by a car as a pedestrian and while the driver didn’t feel the scene, the driver had no valid license and no insurance.
