Great executed cover. It feels so real. The water effect is just perfect.
Fantastic cover!

1000% agree!
So so Baller.
Oh my gosh! That is it! One of the best JRJR covers. I remember seeing this when it came out and feeling like I had to buy that issue just because of the amazing cover. What a truly stunning example of comic art! Huge congrats to you on adding a classic piece to your collection!
Thank you so much Kent! I appreciate the kind words, and we're on the same page. As a DD lover, and a JR Jr lover, this is twice as sweet!
Love this cover. It's great. Congrats Nick!!!!
Thanks Joe. Appreciate it!
Wow! Great cover! Congrats!
Thank you Malvin!
Screen tones were often overused in this period, but on this cover they work perfectly for the underwater scene. Perfect execution in the layout and details on this cover by JRJR. Epic.
Epid indeed! Agreed bud!
HUGE score! Congratulations! (And you're right: Nocenti, JrJr, and Williamson made a great team.)
yeah, it's unquantafiable how great they were and how fantastic the stories were.
Amazing cover! Congrats!
Supreme grittyness & incredible cover. I love how he drew/used the level of water here, it really creates two levels within the illustration with the bubbles stream cleverly bridging the two.
That's an omgoodness moment right there!
Ha! That's one of the thoughts that entered my mind for certain!
Agreed my friend. Took me years of patience to get this cover. But WORTH IT!
Really great! So real, so dramatic. .
The mood is perfect. I can't imagine anyone else drawing this as well. Anywhere near as well.
Exceptional! Love Williamson's inks on this.
Williamson really added more than meets the eye, so to speak.
Such a great run, often underrated - possibly due to an unfair comparison to Miller's run. The combination of Nocenti's thought provoking themes, Romita Jr's blossoming style and Williamson's amazing inks make this run a total classic. Great cover!
Agreed, it followed Miller and then Miller/Mazzachelli. It's one of the best runs EVER in my opinion!
A truly impressive JRjr/Williamson cover - loved their work during this period > Congrats on picking this up!
Thank you Dermot!
Wow. This is one of the best covers from the JR Jr and Williamson run on DD. Also a perfect example of a cover that drew you into the story. I saw this book on the newstand and had to know what happened to Daredevil! The compostion by Romita Jr and the inks from Williamson are just perfect here. If you have just ONE piece from this classic run, it has to be this one. Congrats on owning this beauty.
I know what you mean about this bringing you in. When this story hit, I went back and bought doubles of #252 to #256 and then decided to go back to #250 just because it was an anniversary issue. One of my all time favorite runs. Thanks on the congrats. I am soooooo happy to have this.
You are building some collection!! Great cover!!
Just picking up the pieces I love, and being fortunate.
Amazing one, congratulations!
Thank you very much AB!
The Typhoid Mary design is certainly one of the more memorable moments in this run. Congrats on getting this.
Thank you so much Suat! Took a few years worth of patience, but definitely worth it!
What a cover scene. Perfectly composed and rendered.
Love all the little touches on this one. The ripple of the water, the lack of zip on the bubbles to make them gleam, the way her hair conceals her eyes but frames her giddy smile. They completely nailed it.
Not only did this cover make me pick up the issue from the racks at the time, but it's gonna make me dig it up and re-read it right now...
This run was so fantastic, I've read this a few times. At least once every 2 or 3 years. It's just one of the best, though under appreciated, runs of the series. It's just fantastic! Story by Ann Nocenti and the way Al Williamson inked John Jr was just excellent and perfect!
Too good!
Wow! Very memorable DD cover! Congratulations!
I remember this cover so well - beautifully executed artistically from layout to pencils to inks. Hearty congrats Nick! Thanks for sharing!
amazing piece
God I love this cover. Some of the best work from this run.
Daredevil was one of my favorite comics at this time and this great cover was one of the reasons. Congrats!
Another beauty!
This is just great. Nice one Nick!
Grail / congratulations !!!
My favorite Daredevil cover from this time period.
A real standout DD cover from this period- with incredible detail!!
I'd buy that for a dollar!
Ha! If only! I would have too, and much sooner! ;-)
This is Amazing!
Very iconic JRJR cover back in this era!
Now that's a killer cover ! Thanks for sharing and congrats for this phenomenal piece of Marvel history !
Wow!
Another score for the great Mr Nick!
Just brilliant...among the most memorable covers of my youth. It's unhinged, and it hits you in the feels.
One of the best covers from this awesome run.
Romita Jr's best cover to his entire run on the title in my opinion, great catch !
Such a cool JRJR/Williamson Daredevil cover, with Williamson's inks just elevating this to the top, congrats!
Spectacular!!!
