No Bones About It

It wasn't long after both Daniel and Jeff had completed covers for Robot 13's first issue that a few things started coming together.

First was Daniel's decision to "firm up" the design of our Robot hero. While he did move away from some of the more "mechanical" elements of the design that form the basis of the "Movie" version, he did make some aspects of Robot 13 look like they could actually work given some superior technology.

If you compare today's image with the earliest design shown here, you can see the subtile yet important changes which happened as Daniel evolved and developed Robot 13.

Under the surface, the character was changing as well...
