Owner's Description

A 9.8 WP NEWSTAND Copy. What are you doing underwater, is this Sonar Sense???
We presume Miller's input now being felt, as the title DAREDEVIL "Marked for Death" appears, not "Man Without Fear". ***Then why is it offically listed a "Marked for Murder"???
This is either a retro cover or a brand new idea, depending on your point of view.
For the detail folks, Roger McKenzie wrote the story, Miller sketched the cover, and Jansen did the ink work on the cover. Miller isn't a story writer quite yet!!
Issued July 1979, making a DD comic release every two months.
DD 159 was the first listed Miller/Klaus Janson cover. This issue was hard to get at a good price...I mean someone kept snatching these #159 issues up quickly over the last 2 years and the same CGC number was next seen for sale offered for exactly $400 a few days to a few weeks later. Some clever fellow..Oh well.
Another issue hard to get well centered, and the harder to get a 9.8 NEWSTAND Variant to boot!
A 9.8WP's sells for $350 and up.
There are 41 9.8 issues graded so far, with 4 SS issues with only 1 the 9.8 grade (2 SS issues, 9.4 and 8.5) out of 310 issues graded as of May 2013.
