Daredevil #229

In "Pariah!", Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli deliver a raw, emotionally charged chapter in Daredevil’s story, told through the haunting memory of young Matt as he recalls the night his life changed—Turk, masked as Santa, stabbing him in the gut, and the quiet, steadfast care of Sister Maggie. As the present-day investigation into Murdock and the Kingpin heats up, Ben is warned to stay away, deepening the shadows around Matt’s past and the secrets still buried in Hell’s Kitchen. The issue’s stark, expressive art by Mazzucchelli—both interior and on the cover—lends a haunting weight to every panel, making this a standout moment in the series.
