Here’s the cover to DAREDEVIL #5 by Wally Wood. Wood working for Marvel was such a big deal to Stan that he actually ran cover blurbs highlighting the fact on most of the books he started working on, which simply wasn’t done in those days.
Daredevil #188.
“Frank Miller—Writer/Storyteller; Klaus Janson—Penciller/Inker/Colorist”
A page from DAREDEVIL ANNUAL #1 by Gene Colan and John Tartaglione.
Quite a few border notes from Colan remain:
AT ONE IN THE MORNING—ANY WAY I’VE (words obscured) FOR THE NEXT D.D. STORY
#3 STAN WELCOMES ME IN HIS OFFICE. AH - IF IT ISN’T THE MERRY (words obscured) HAVE A SEAT
#4 STAN (word obscured) ME YOU’RE ELECTRONICALLY PREPARED FOR THE DAREDEVIL PLOT
#5 OKAY THEN - LET’S SEE - WE LAST LEFT OUR HERO
There’s also a note from Stan to production man Sol Brodsky asking for a correction:
SOL - WHO INKED THIS? GENE HAD DRAWN A DETAILED RECORDER! SEE NEXT PG. PANEL 1
Panel and panel detail from Daredevil #171.

If I designed a Daredevil videogame, DAMN STRAIGHT it would include Moondragon.

From Giant-Size Defenders #3, 1975. The art in this issue is credited to Jim Starlin (layouts), and Dan Adkins, Don Newton, and Jim Mooney (finishes). Not sure who did this illustration, which accompanies a text feature.
In 1965, Dick Ayers drew this page as an audition to replace Wally Wood on Daredevil, an assignment that ultimately went to John Romita. Layouts by Jack Kirby.
That’s Angela Bowie as the Black Widow, and Ben Carruthers, who was the trumpet-playing lead in John Cassavetes’ SHADOWS, as Daredevil.

Daredevil #165 by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson.
Another classic Daredevil panel by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson.
Frank Miller and Klaus Janson. From Daredevil #190.
If anyone happens to have a scan of the original art for this page from Daredevil #16, please post it!
I saw the page at NYCC last year, and there was an amazing note from Stan Lee to Artie Simek, asking him to change the lettering to make it more like Sam Rosen’s.
Daredevil #176. Hijinks by Turk & Grotto. Art by Miller & Janson.
