I realize this is probably of interest to no one but me, but remember that scene in Avernus in Blackest Night #1, when we see the dead Rogues' statues and the black rings calling to them?



Here is the published panel:



Just now, I found an image of the original penciled/inked art page. Spot the difference:



The original art depicted the Top in his Captain Crazypants look (with the top hat, straitjacket, and bare feet). I wonder when it was changed?

For what it's worth, I'm VERY glad it was changed, as I think it's pretty insulting to depict him like that (his current statue in the Flash Museum is dressed that way, as we saw in Rebirth #1). Let's memorialize the mentally ill in their psychotic episodes!
