Indexer Notes

Stan's Soapbox promotes the Marvel TV series on CBS and NBC TV and says he will be at Miamicon 2 on April 7. In other news, the bulletin promotes the Spider-Woman and Daredevil titles and reveals that Jim Shooter writes the non-Soapbox material. Cover to Daredevil #158 is depicted with a 35¢ price (the actual issue was 40¢) and a spot illustration of Thor. Also an illustrated promo at the bottom of the page for the Fantastic Four Saturday morning animated series.
