Not compiled in a TPB. The title is taken from the story in #180.

Looking up the covers, I'm not 100% sure I ever read #180, as the cover doesn't ring a bell with me. However, I would probably rate the story near the top of Miller's DD run that I've read just on the basis of the final issue, #181, which also happened to be my last issue of the series, personally, even though I thought it was really good as a stand-alone story. But I didn't care for the way the series was going in general, in spite of having liked most of the Miller run up to and including that issue. Probably it was also part of my general loss of interest in Marvel's product at that time - I think MoKF was the only series I still felt was maintaining the spirit, or whatever you what to call it, of Marvel comics as I had experienced it up to then. So, as usual, I'm not sure how to put a number on this - from one POV it might be a 6 for me, from another perhaps an 8.
I do think the Miller/Janson artwork was less to my taste at this point: great layouts, but sketchy, sometimes almost perfunctory rendition - almost as if they thought the layouts were everything.

I have to disagree on that part, as I chose the arcs based mostly on pencils. The first one is because of a different writer, but the remaining five arcs range from full detailed pencils by Miller, simply inked by Janson, all the way to barely outlined by Miller and fully drawn and inked by Janson. What you describe would be appropriate for Last Hand, but The Damned was smack in the middle of that process.

OMG! After Bullseye discovered Matt's secret, I was worried. Luckily, Daredevil was able to "put the genie back in the bottle."
