In "Merry Christmas, Kingpin," Daredevil and Kingpin observe the holiday in ways as distinct as their opposing worlds—each wrapped in their own brand of quiet intensity. Written by Ann Nocenti and brought to life with striking detail by John Romita Jr. and Al Williamson, this 1988 issue captures the season’s mood through two parallel, deeply personal rituals. The cover by Romita Jr. and Williamson sets the tone with a stark, evocative image that mirrors the story’s mood.
