The First Case

Prologue
First we see blood dripping over the floor. In the second box, Verité Florent is shocked. In the third box we can see she is standing over a dead body, while a mysterious man, lurks around in the corner. A thinking cloud above the man states: "Hah! They'll never catch me!"

Pilot
Before the comics as we know them were created, Bart van Oosterhout made several Lawyer comics with John Garpeau before. In these "Pilot Comics," John's first case was completely different. John's client wasn't Verité, but a man who was guilty of ordering a client to kill someone.

Online Game
The case is a bit longer in the online game. A bit more dialogue is added, but nothing major. The name was changed to "Turnabout Friendship" due to it being made on Ace Attorney Online. Because almost every case in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney has "Turnabout" in the name.
