Second, Daredevil has remained popular and the story arc that started in the previous book #131 where creator Marv Wolfman introduced Bullseye is one of the best of the Bronze Age of comics. The book was inked by Klaus Janson who would late team up with Frank Miller to do the phenomenal Daredevil-Kingpin-Punisher-Bullseye-Elektra story that kept readers thirsting for the next issue to hit the newsstands. I still can't believe that the movie stunk as a bad as it did. Issue 132 is the second appearance of Bullseye.
Third, the book is crazy tough in high grade. The black areas and contrasting yellow areas of the cover show defects like crazy. The book also contains a Series "B" Marvel Value Stamp #63: Stan Lee. Many otherwise nice books were cut up for that Stan Lee value stamp.
The condition census for the book is a single highest 9.8 followed by two 9.6s and five 9.4s. A total of 22 books have been graded. The only other time that a CGC certified 9.6 came up for sale was exactly ten years before the sale of this book, back in 2004, where it fetched $500. A high-grade 9.4 sold in 2012 for $508.
When Filter81 listed this book, I was very excited to see what kind of interest the auction would generate. The answer was a lot. $2259. That is a new record and a new entrant into the four figure club.
Here is a nice bonus for the post, a scan of the single highest graded 9.8.
