Daredevil #239

Arthur Adams' cover for issue #239 sets an unsettling nocturnal mood — a massive, looming Daredevil dominates the foreground while a gaunt, disfigured blond figure in a suit clutches a bloodied red object in the background, beneath a street lamp on a trash-strewn urban street. Scrawled on the pavement in what looks like blood are the words "Rotgut Was Here," hinting at a grim new threat in Hell's Kitchen. With Ann Nocenti writing and Al Williamson among the inkers on the interior story "Bad Plumbing," this 1987 Marvel issue promises a dark street-level chapter for the Man Without Fear.
