Notes
- This issue contains a letters page, Let's Level With Daredevil. Letters are published from John Zuber, Jr., Kevin E. Patterson, T.M. Maple, Mike Lansley, and Mike Stafford. Responses from Frank Miller.
- After a prolonged letter page crusade (and one would imagine increased sales), this month Daredevil achieves "Monthly" publishing status.
