This issue features Artie Simek's last contribution to comicdom. He died having lettered a few pages toward the beginning of this mag. Steve Gerber went on to say, "the loss of this dedicated craftsman truly does leave the entire comics industry poorer."

The boy wants to check out the ship's crash site, but his parents don't believe him, so he runs off alone. Nighthawk gets there first, however, and meets the crew--the rest of the Guardians: Vance Astro, Yondu, and Martinex.

Quoth the Nighthawk, Nevermore
Reprint of Daredevil #62, telling an early story from when Nighthawk was a villain.

Nighthawk recalls his origin, finding a strange alchemical formula that gave him added physical prowess at night, his involvement with the Grandmaster, and his fight against Captain America.

Guide Notes:
(7/75, 68-pgs.)-Continued from Defenders #25; Guardians of the Galaxy app; (3rd app); continued from Marvel Two-in-One #5; story continued in Defenders #26; Nighthawk-r from Daredevil #62

This book has deep rich color and fairly nice eye-appeal on this all-time-classic, hard-to-get in high-grade white Defenders and Charlie 14 from Guardian's Of The Galaxy cover! With cream/slight heavy-cream tint pages, white inner covers, a slight squeeze at the spine-side of the front cover which is typical of the 1970's giant issues, sigh and a tiny lower-outer edge-chip on the back cover. We have adjusted the grade accordingly.

Condition: FN+
Page Quality: Cream/slight heavy-cream tint
Inner Cover: Black
Artist(s): Sal Buscema, Dan Green
Writer(s): Len Wein
