A narrow majority voted in favor of the latter, and Batman #428 features Batman discovering Jason's lifeless body in the warehouse ruins. Starlin and Aparo prepared two versions of the following issue: one that would be published if readers voted to have Jason survive, and another if he was to be killed. Batman #427 ends with the Joker blowing Jason up in a warehouse. Jason travels to the Middle East to find his biological mother, but is kidnapped and tortured by the Joker. 'A Death in the Family' begins when Batman relieves Jason of his crime-fighting duties.

Inspired to orchestrate a similar stunt, DC set up a 900 number voting system to allow fans to decide Jason's fate. Editor Dennis O'Neil was considering having Jason revamped or written out of Batman when he recalled a 1982 Saturday Night Live sketch in which Eddie Murphy encouraged viewers to call the show if they wanted him to boil a lobster on air. Jason became unpopular among readers after 1986, as writers began to characterize him as rebellious and impulsive. Jason Todd, the second character to assume the Robin persona, was introduced in 1983 to replace Dick Grayson, who was unavailable for use at the time. Serialized in Batman #426–429 from August to November 1988, 'A Death in the Family' is considered one of the most important Batman stories for featuring the death of his sidekick Robin at the hands of his archenemy, the Joker. It was written by Jim Starlin and penciled by Jim Aparo, with cover art by Mike Mignola. Scroll down for a gallery of images giving you a sneak peek at the pages within these comic books.'
