“The Fallen Hero!”

In "The Fallen Hero!", Daredevil faces off against the Unholy Three in a fight that takes a shocking turn when he’s struck by the Exterminator’s time displacement gun—sent hurtling into limbo, with no clear way back. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with moody precision by Gene Colan, this 1968 issue delivers a tense, high-stakes moment in the series, with inks by John Tartaglione and lettering by Sam Rosen. The cover, a dynamic collaboration by Gene Colan, Marie Severin, and John Tartaglione, captures the moment of impact in stark, dramatic detail.
