Item Notes: Batman # 428 features the Death of Jason Todd (Robin II).
Jason Todd, the second Robin, was controversial from his inception as a replacement for Dick Grayson (the first Robin). Created by Gerry Conway for Batman #357, Todd was a mirror image of Dick Grayson with the exception that he had blonde hair that he dyed when appearing as Robin.
After Crisis on Infinite Earths, Jason Todd’s origin was dramatically altered to re-envision him as street kid. Jason Todd hereafter was depicted as questioning, petulant and had a tendency to be more extreme than Batman, even killing in one instance.
In the Death In The Family storyline Jason Todd as Robin had been beaten by the Joker. The end of the comic featured a 1-900 telephone number to allow fans to determine his fate.
While an alternate ending was created to show Robin had lived, the fan vote determined the fate of Jason Todd to die. Batman #428 revealed the outcome of the fan vote.

After Crisis on Infinite Earths, Jason Todd’s origin was dramatically altered to re-envision him as street kid whose father was a gangster working for Two Face. Jason Todd hereafter was depicted as questioning, petulant and had a tendency to be more extreme than Batman, even killing in one instance.
The Death In The Family storyline revealed the identity of Jason Todd’s mother, as he searched the globe for her. The four part series culminated with Batman #427, where Jason Todd as Robin had been beaten by the Joker and locked with his mother in a warehouse set to explode. The end of the comic featured a 1-900 telephone number to allow fans to determine his fate.
While an alternate ending was created to show Robin had lived, the fan vote determined the fate of Jason Todd to die. Batman #428 revealed the outcome of the fan vote and pays tribute to Shelly Moldoff’s “pretend death of Robin” from Batman #156.
