Commissioner Robert O'Hara

Commissioner Robert O'Hara is a law-enforcement authority figure operating in Marvel's street-level New York, crossing paths with Daredevil and Black Widow while navigating the morally complex criminal underworld they all inhabit.

Stepping out of the gritty Bronze Age Marvel universe, Commissioner Robert O'Hara made his debut in Daredevil #96 in 1973, brought to life by the legendary creative team of Gerry Conway and Gene Colan. A figure of authority navigating the morally complex streets of Marvel's street-level corner of the universe, O'Hara shares his pages with some serious company — Daredevil, the Black Widow, and the villainous Mandrill among them. His appearances span Daredevil and Marvel Two-in-One, and collectors will note that one of his handful of issues carries key-issue status, making him a small but genuinely rewarding find for fans who love the texture and atmosphere of early-'70s Marvel storytelling.
