"Run, Murdock, Run!" kicks off in Creepy Worlds #117 (1971), a standout issue where Matt Murdock’s secret identity is exposed in a chilling twist that upends his life. Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated with tense precision by Barry Smith, with inks by George Klein and letters by Artie Simek, the story follows Daredevil as he grapples with the fallout of his identity being revealed—first by the villainous Starr Saxon, then by his own failing health, as radiation poisoning begins to take hold. The cover, a striking collaboration by Barry Smith and John Romita, captures the urgency of the moment.
