I had a PM about the purpose of the hand-written notes and who they're from.

 

It's often the colorist to the separators, to re-iterate how the published pages should look (after being made into proofs).

 

You also see notes from the inker to the colorist - Terry Austin often wrote notes for Glynis Wein on the Byrne / Claremont X-Men guides for instance.

 

Finally are notes from the artist to the colorist, where an artist who has a particular vision for the mood of the published comic will add notes to the copies of their artwork (the uncolored guides) before they're sent to the colorist. David Mazzucchelli did this on his DD run.

 

I'll leave the prospective buyers on these to work out what the notes say and who they're from but it's fun research to do as those notes are directly responsible for how these classic issues ended up looking.

A wonderful, standalone page that really captures the essence and mood of the Miller Daredevil run.

 

Page #14 - Matt Murdock thinking about his life, relationships and the promise he made to his father, before suiting up into DD in a fantastic series of panels.

 

$275 shipped. $195 shipped

You're right...

 

One set of handwriting refers to the "girl with red hair" but then a different hand notes the color codes and "Parker, Mary Jane".

I didn't even see the notes! I just read somewhere that the characters were intentionally drawn that way to hint that it was Peter and MJ to make his statement ironic!

Why doesn't Daredevil with his heightened senses realize that is Peter Parker / Spider-man?
