|
|
I could use some help in tracking down an old issue of Daredevil!
At some point in the first 100 issues in the 1960s, there was a contest held where readers could write to Marvel and suggest a plot and the winner would have their story idea made into or incorporated into a future issue.
My father, a huge Daredevil fan, actually won the contest and received the famous Marvel No-Prize! I'm hoping that I can track down which issue had his winning storyline. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about the plot - and he doesn't recall either.
My hope (and it is a long shot!) is to find this comic and have it signed by Stan Lee.
Thanks! |

Hi Mark,
Do you know if your father's name was printed in the letter column or anything like that? (What is your father's name, by the way?)
I can have a quick look at my old issues this weekend. _________________ Kuljit Mithra

Hi Kuljit!
I don't know if he received printed credit for the submission, but I will PM you his name!
I really appreciate you looking through your old issues!
Thanks! |

Thanks, I got the PM... I will check the issues and see if there's any clue... I don't recall seeing your father's name in any credits, so maybe there's some info in the letters pages about it. _________________ Kuljit Mithra

Hi Mark,
I checked over the first 100 issues of DD and didn't find anything... is there any other info you can provide to narrow down the search? Do you know who was writing the comic at the time? _________________ Kuljit Mithra

Hi Kuljit,
At the moment, that's all I know - I can try to find out some more information when I see him again!
Thank you so much for looking at your back-issues! That was very kind. You don't happen to have a pay pal or anything I can donate to, to say thanks and help keep the site running? |
