Daredevil #38

In "The Phony Death-House Reverend," a desperate Monk, aided by the quick-witted Lippy, makes a violent break from prison—only to lose a foot in the process. Abandoned by his former gang, he vows revenge, turning on those who left him behind. With only Daredevil and the Little Wise Guys standing in his way, the city braces for a reckoning.

In "null," Daredevil shares the origins of his past with the Little Wise Guys, revealing a childhood shaped by tragedy and survival. Born to parents whose lives were cut short by betrayal in a remote gold mine, the boy was abandoned, raised by a tribe, and rose to become their chief through strength and courage. Now returned to America, he seeks justice for his parents—but the path ahead is as dangerous as the one he left behind.

In this quirky 1946 adventure, Jo finds himself at the center of a tenancy crisis after his antics drive the other apartment dwellers to demand his eviction. When the landlord hires thugs to remove him, Sniffer ends up with amnesia and sets out to rediscover his identity—only to fixate on the idea that a near-death car accident might trigger his lost memories. The story unfolds with a mix of slapstick and surreal humor as Sniffer’s search for self leads him down increasingly absurd paths.

In "The Last Round!", boxing rookie Gallagher, fresh off his first victory, faces a tough choice when his manager warns him against going to a party with Bea Frank—just days before his next bout against the feared "Quaker Express." With a dangerous offer looming to throw the fight in the first round—or face consequences—Gallagher must decide what kind of champion he wants to be.

In a delightfully silly 1946 slice of humor from Daredevil #38, two rival salesmen—one from a company touting "pants to match"—find themselves in a moment of accidental synchronicity when they realize their outfits would perfectly complement each other… if only their pants matched. The story unfolds in a single page of deadpan wit, where a simple wardrobe swap leads to an unexpectedly harmonious moment.

In "The Whale Sub," Dickie’s ingenious mechanical whale—capable of flying, sailing, and diving—becomes the unexpected centerpiece of a high-stakes chase when smugglers hijack it and force Zip to pilot it at gunpoint, turning a clever invention into a dangerous trap.
