Daredevil #137

The cover of this September 1976 issue says it all: a cackling Jester hurls Daredevil — the Man Without Fear — straight into a massive set of snapping steel jaws, while the cover copy warns that his "Deadly Murder Maze" will finish what the villain himself cannot. John Buscema's pencils and Jim Mooney's inks make the scene crackle with kinetic menace, the diagonal composition selling every ounce of the danger bearing down on the red-suited hero. With Marv Wolfman scripting and a story titled "The Murder Maze Strikes Twice!", this is mid-'70s Marvel action at its most gleefully theatrical.
