Daredevil #289

In "The Hero," Daredevil faces his toughest test yet when Kingpin kidnaps Nyla and forces Matt Murdock to throw a fight to save her—only for Matt to refuse, fight with everything he’s got, and reclaim his identity with the help of Urich. Written by Ann Nocenti and illustrated by Kieron Dwyer, with inks by Al Williamson and Fred Fredericks, this powerful 1991 issue captures Matt’s raw determination and emotional turning point. The cover by Dwyer and Williamson perfectly frames the stakes, with a tense, shadowed Matt poised at the edge of his own redemption.
