It's actually from 1985, so even if there were more than another couple of issues, the Mazzucchelli issues are but a pipe dream.<BR/>I'd love to see black and white prints of Mazzucchelli's Daredevil or, better still, Batman: Year One. Maybe somewhere out there is a UK Titan edition or a European reprint.spiros xenoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01162947951011029392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369688223742758322.post-33567896287041399792007-03-11T20:58:00.000+11:002007-03-11T20:58:00.000+11:00If they did print those stories then I don't have ...If they did print those stories then I don't have them. By that time Federal were printing stuff in colour, so it'd be highly unlikely that they'd print that storyline in black and white.<BR/><BR/>The last Federal DD I have is numbered #8 and reprints the contents from (USA) DD #176, 177 & 178. As the Born Again storyline started in about issue #223 (or so) in the US I doubt very, very highly that Federal would have printed it.<BR/><BR/>One of the better ones is DD #6 which reprints #170, 171 & 172 without any interruption.Daniel Besthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709668308904142615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369688223742758322.post-65550685888405682662007-03-11T08:02:00.000+11:002007-03-11T08:02:00.000+11:00Yeah, by the time Federal was trying to contain mu...Yeah, by the time Federal was trying to contain multi-issue storylines in one issue the razor gang (remember that neologism!) was well and truly institutionalized. <BR/><BR/>A nice fat Essential Daredevil volume of Miller’s first run would do me nicely, but until then a few Federals will fit the bill, crude edits and missing splashes notwithstanding.<BR/><BR/>Question: was the Miller and Mazzucchelli “Born Again” storyline reprinted in Federal/KGM issues? I certainly don’t recall seeing the covers at all in the Australian editions, but I do recall seeing a Mazzucchelli splash page in black and white somewhere (I think from the second issue of the arc). Of course, this could have been in a magazine, and not in an Australian comic. This arc was published 1986, and although the KGMs did cough up a few more issues after 1985, they were certainly on their deathbed by then, and it would really be cutting it fine to expect this arc to have made it into the final issues.
