The sleeve notes for the White Room credit Nick Coler, Ian Richardson and Nicky Wilson as backing singers on that track.

My Daredevil read through is in the Marv Wolfman run, and boy, this Jester story is something. It is LITERALLY a story about AI deepfakes being used for disinformation. In 1976.

My reading ahead has reached Tony Isabella’s Daredevil run. It’s tempting to say time has not been kind to it, but then he was fired after five issues, so 1975 wasn’t that kind to it either.

You haven’t seen abrupt wrap-ups until you see the ending of the Mr Kline plot that Gerry Conway tried to work into everything in 1971. Here’s how Iron Man tied up its involvement, after devoting the previous four issues to building up Kline as an archenemy.

I never knew this was such an issue in 1968.

A panel from Daredevil #44. The dialogue says: “It happens all the time! Some bird-brained sneak thief grabs a doctor’s medical bag, not suspecting it contains deadly radioactive material!”
