___________________________________________________________
Published in August of 1988, the legendary John Romita Jr. (penciller) & Al Williamson (inker) rendered an impressive DAREDEVIL VS. THE PUNISHER battle cover!
Featured boldly in the middle of the cover in an epic face-to-face showdown, Daredevil clearly shows no signs of fear, as he confronts a pistol gripping Punisher with only his two clenched fists! With an intricate layout of the New York City skyline positioned underneath them, and the Original Twin Towers standing gloriously in the middle, sets the stage in a larger-than-life battle between two of NYC’s most valuable crime-fighting vigilantes determined to take each other out!
To recap, in June of 1982 (Daredevil #183), Frank Miller ushered in the historical 1st meeting of Daredevil & the Punisher!
In addition, Daredevil #257 features a crossover storyline with Punisher #10, which was also published in August of 1988!
Furthermore, the Punisher, played by actor Jon Bernthal, made his introductory appearance on the critically acclaimed Marvel Daredevil Streaming Series (2015-2018)! He was introduced in Season 2, and just like this cover suggests, the two powerhouses clashed several times before they became allies!
Therefore, this badass John Romita Jr. Copper Age cover is a MUST-HAVE for any Daredevil or Punisher fan and/or collector!
With Daredevil: Born Again (18 episodes) scheduled to be released on Disney+ in the Spring of 2024, and Jon Bernthal confirmed to reprise his role in the series, the future looks bright for this CLASSIC KEY issue!
Offered here is a PERFECTLY WRAPPED & CENTERED, VIBRANT and SECOND HIGHEST GRADED NEWSSTAND EDITION CVA Exceptional copy with SNOW WHITE PAGES for your collection!
Happy Collecting & Enjoy the Hunt!
