About this Issue

Daredevil #100 (June 1973) is a genuine milestone of the Bronze Age: it marks the final regular issue penciled by Gene Colan, who had drawn all but three issues of the series from #20 through this centennial number — an astonishing seven-plus-year commitment that defined the visual identity of the Man Without Fear. The issue also delivers the first appearance of Angar the Screamer (David Angar), a countercultural villain whose hallucinatory sonic powers gave writer Steve Gerber a canvas for psychedelic, socially-charged storytelling that anticipated his later boundary-pushing work on Howard the Duck. Beyond the first appearance and the creative passing-of-the-torch, the issue's Marvel Bullpen retrospective — a built-in look back at the series' first hundred issues — makes it one of the earliest self-aware anniversary celebrations in mainstream superhero comics, connecting readers to the book's own history at a time when that kind of editorial reflection was still a novelty.

Daredevil #100 (1973) delivers a wild twist in the streets of San Francisco, where Matt Murdock finds himself in the middle of a citywide frenzy during a surprise interview with Rolling Stone Magazine. As the world descends into chaos, the enigmatic Angar steps forward, claiming responsibility for the madness. Steve Gerber’s sharp writing and Gene Colan’s moody artwork bring a tense, electrifying energy to this landmark issue, with Rich Buckler and Frank Giacoia’s dynamic cover capturing the moment’s intensity.

History

Writer Steve Gerber, who had recently taken over from Gerry Conway, scripted the anniversary issue during a period when Gene Colan was simultaneously ramping up his monthly workload on Tomb of Dracula, making his departure from Daredevil a matter of scheduling as much as creative choice. Gerber's own account (preserved in the introduction to Marvel Masterworks: Daredevil Vol. 10 and quoted on a 2004 fan forum) reveals that it was his idea to feature Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner as a real-life guest star, and that he obtained Wenner's permission and then simply described the man to Colan from memory — a description that, by Gerber's admission, turned out to be a surprisingly accurate likeness. Editor Roy Thomas oversaw the issue, and the cover was handled not by Colan but by Rich Buckler, who would immediately step in as Colan's penciling successor beginning with issue #101.

Trivia · 8 facts

First appearance of Angar the Screamer (David Alan Angar), created by writer Steve Gerber, penciler Gene Colan, and inker John Tartaglione (June 1973).
Angar's hallucinogenic powers were established as originating from a Titanian hypersound machine provided by Moondragon (operating as 'Madam MacEvil'), then weaponized by corrupt San Francisco lawyer Kerwin J. Broderick — tying the character directly into Marvel's early 1970s cosmic storylines.
Gene Colan's final regular penciling assignment on Daredevil: he drew all but three issues from #20 (1966) through #100 (1973), one of the longest sustained artist-to-title runs in Silver and Bronze Age Marvel history.
The story 'Mind Storm!' features a real-life celebrity appearance by Rolling Stone editor and publisher Jann Wenner, making it an early example of Marvel integrating actual media figures into superhero narratives.
Daredevil's origin is retold within the issue, and the hallucination sequences include cameos by a large swath of the character's rogues gallery — Jester, Leap-Frog, the Matador, Doctor Doom, the Gladiator, and others — alongside a John Lennon poster.
Cover art was penciled by Rich Buckler with inks by Frank Giacoia; interior inks were by John Tartaglione; Stan Goldberg colored; Roy Thomas edited. The issue ran 36 pages, expanded from the standard page count for the centennial.
The issue includes a Bullpen-signed prose retrospective covering the series' first 100 issues — one of the earliest formal anniversary retrospectives published within a Marvel superhero title.
The issue has been reprinted in Essential Daredevil Vol. 4 (2007), Marvel Masterworks: Daredevil Vol. 10 (2016), Daredevil Epic Collection Vol. 5 — Going Out West (2021), and Daredevil Omnibus Vol. 3 (2023), as well as in Italian editions by Editoriale Corno.
