The original pitch for KNIGHTS OF THE NEVERENDING STORY was insanely different from the series I actually ended up doing:
- Bastian was more a punk willing to break the law.
The series would have opened with Bastian getting into a fight and causing vandalism.
- He was best friends with an older Toby from LABRYNTH, who would have been more along of the lines of the character Bastian would become in the actual series.
- Jareth was the original big bad of the series and the reason Bastian returned to Fantasia when he came after Toby and set his sights on Fantasia.
- After the Knights were assembled, the stories would have mostly taken place in Fantasia instead of all over the Literary Universe.
- Oliver Twist and The Artful Dodger were part of the original lineup.
- Atreyu would have been a full member of the team as opposed to making guest appearances.
- AURYN wasn't as important as it would become in the actual series.
- Correander and the bookstore didn't play a role in things like they did in the first issue.
- Peter Pan was an original member, as was Charlie Bucket.
- Tom Sawyer had more of a role to play, with Mark Twain's steamboat being a mode of transportation between worlds as opposed to AURYN.
Changes that took place in the series:
- Tiny Tim replaced Dodger and Oliver due his having an actual weapon with his crutch.
- Nibs took Peter Pan's place due to... well, you'll see when that issue happens.
- Mike Teavee took Charlie's place due having more of a character to explore.
- Tom's role was downgraded due to Huck's role being expanded.
- Huck getting into a relationship was added in due to his chemistry with his partner.
- Bastian was more a punk willing to break the law.
