Only a few years prior to this, JR illustrated Daredevil: The Man Without Fear, a 5-issue series where Frank Miller explored DD’s earliest origins. It’s where the black suit he wore on…

Lost Years 1
Lost Years! Probably shoulda stayed lost! But this does continue John Romita, Jr.’s return to the fold, so that’s cool. And it’s the 90s, so it’s a shiny foil cover! Comics never…
TAC 223
The folks who make Web of Spider-Man must’ve felt ripped off to be the only title that didn’t get a fancy cover. This one makes no sense at all. In this period,…

ASM 242
Fun cover idea. He really calls it his Awesome Android. Gnarly, dude. One Kevin Duban finishes this issue, and Bob Sharen is back on colors. I need to pin down when he…
