“--And Men Shall Call Him...Ox !”

In "And Men Shall Call Him...Ox!", a brutal convict known only as the Ox is lured into a dangerous scheme by his cunning cellmate, Dr. Karl Stragg, who promises to make him smarter in exchange for an escape. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life by John Romita’s dynamic art and Frankie Ray’s inks, this 1966 classic sees Daredevil confront the transformed Ox in a battle that tests both strength and wits. The cover by John Romita and Frank Giacoia captures the raw intensity of the clash, making this a standout issue in the early Daredevil saga.
