1st appearance and death of the third Mr. Fear, Larry Cranston
Final cover art differed slightly from the original to remove Mr. Fear's hand from around Daredevil's neck which was likely to comply with rules set by the Comics Code Authority
First Chris Claremont credited work in comics as 'author'
Claremont received credit on prior issues for years with plot assists as early as X-Men #59 but this issue is his first official credited, scripted story
Includes an advertisement for Incredible Hulk #181
⚠ Misconception: many claim that Wolverine is first seen in an advertisement for The Incredible Hulk #181 printed in Thor #229 and Daredevil #115. These issues did not go on sale prior to the publication of Incredible Hulk #181. Comic Reader #109 reports the on-sale date of Thor #229 as August 6, 1974. The on-sale date of The Incredible Hulk #181 was July 30, 1974 which was the same day Daredevil #115 went on sale. Regardless, Wolverine was officially first seen in print briefly (cameo) in The Incredible Hulk #180 (July 2, 1974). Advertisements and preview excerpts are not considered official first appearances
