The lowest point in the series is easily the final five issues, after Day was taken off the book and Moench quit.  And issues #20-28 are pretty unexceptional too.  But when the series was good, it was pretty much unbeatable.

I have very dim memories of reading the last five issues of MOKF, and I agree that they're not nearly as good as the issues prior to that - which had gorgeous GD art.  That being said, I don't remember them being that bad.  IIRC, didn't at least 1-2 of these later issues have art by David Mazzuchelli?!  Mazzuchelli later went on to draw the amazing Daredevil: Born Again issues in the later '80's.

I compare Day's leaving MOKF to Frank Miller's leaving DD (Series 1) with issue #191.  It's not that the issues that came afterwards (with Klaus Janson art) were bad by any means - it's just that they weren't as good as the previous FM issues.  I.e., some artists are impossible to top....
