What is the best Daredevil guest appearance in another character's comic?

I think of the best and a classic story, is DD's appearance in the "Death of Jean DeWolffe" story. That is a darker crime drama Spider-Man story where DD guest stars and there are some DD elements in the story.

Since DD is the guest star, he is there mainly to provide a foil for Spidey, but it does work pretty well, DD is older and doesn't have as much of personal stake in the story, while Spidey is younger and has a far more personal stake in the story (the villain, Sin Eater, kills Spidey's friend Jean DeWolffe and tries to kill Spidey's first girl friend Betty Brant). DD is calm and level headed, while Spidey acts like a hot head.

Spidey spends a lot of the story being pissed off at the legal system, because Matt represented some muggers who targeted a friend of Aunt May and gets them released on bail.

Spidey is driven by rage at the Sin Eater, a serial killer who kills those in power who he believes is causing the legal system to fail, with Sin Eater coming across as some far right nut case who hates the establishment and blames it for crime in NYC.

The cool thing about the story is the contrast between younger, more brash Spidey and older, more level headed DD. DD has to stop Spidey from killing the Sin Eater.

There are some DD elements in this story, both Spidey and DD go to Josie's get info on the Sin Eater (no one knows anything because Sin Eater is a lone psycho) and they both go to Kingpin for info on the Sin Eater (who knows nothing either because Sin Eater is a lone psycho). But one of the biggest things to come out of this story is DD and Spidey discovering each other's IDs.

I think that story is okay, but I find Peter grows tiresome, and I also don't like how Daredevil needs his help to fight off a crowd of people.

Personally, for a guest appearance in a different comic, I like that two-parter in which he fought Hogun the Grim. (Thor #392 & 393) It's comparable to his fights against Namor and the Hulk, in that he's completely outmatched, but he doesn't give up.

Can we expand this to other media? My first introduction to Daredevil was in the 90s Spider-Man cartoon. At the time I thought he was just the coolest and, rewatching the episode recently, I stand by my belief.
