“Journey”

★ 1st appearance — Yuriko Oyama

In "Journey," Daredevil’s path to Japan takes an unexpected turn when he rescues Dark Wind’s daughter from captivity, setting off a tense, high-stakes mission across the country. Written by Denny O'Neil and illustrated by William Johnson, Klaus Janson, and Larry Hama, with inks by Mike Mignola and Klaus Janson, and colors by Christie Scheele, this 1983 issue blends quiet intensity with rising danger. The cover by Bill Sienkiewicz captures the mood perfectly—shadowed, focused, and charged with unseen conflict.
