from Daredevil (1964 series) #95 (Marvel, January 1973), script by Gerry Conway, pencils by Gene Colan, inks (and colors?) by Tom Palmer, Tom Palmer, letters by John Costanza
- October 3 was a Tuesday in 1972, too! If only there had been a Mighty Marvel Calendar 1972 I could have featured it on Sunday along with this one!
- Wait a minute, since when did J. Jonah Jameson gain control over the Daily News?!? There oughta be a Bugle in there somewhere.
- No self-respecting newspaper, not even one on the liberal left coast, is going to refer to San Francisco as "Frisco."
- On the other hand, it looks like a real newspaper, thus avoiding the Comics Oughta Be Fun! trope of "newspapers don't look like that!"
- I always applaud use of the Man-Bull, but I think Marvel's tryin' to get away with a sound effect here that I, a seven-year-old stuffed naimal, shouldn't be reading.

Your mention of "newspapers don't look like this" reminded me of a personal pet peeve: a character is facing panel right while reading a newspaper. The art shows the front page of the paper when in fact we should see the last page. (Exceptions for papers printed in a right-to-left language).
Oh, that makes sense! I've never thought of that, brilliant observation!
Also, “Sergius O'Shaughnessy” — the name seen at top left of the ’paper — was a pseudonym of Dennis O’Neil’s. (Just for kicks, I searched for the story title “The Army and the Knight” at the Grand Comics Database but came up empty.)
