The Jack Kirby cover for DAREDEVIL #43 is famous for is depicition of a fight between DD and Captain America.
But did you know there was a cover drawn by Gene Colan that wasn't used? The story goes like this... when this cover by Colan came into the Marvel office, Jack Kirby was visiting and had an issue with it. He said Cap shouldn't be shown losing that fight... so he drew his own cover, and Marvel ultimately used it.
The original pencils were owned by someone for 30 years, and then sold to a new owner. That new owner had the pencils inked by Josef Rubinstein. And here it is below:
