Daredevil #45

In "The Dismal Dregs of Defeat!", Daredevil finds himself falsely accused of murder, forcing him to evade the police while hunted by the Jester’s twisted game. With his reputation in tatters and the city turning against him, Matt Murdock must fight not just for his freedom, but for the truth—his own identity now under siege. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated with moody precision by Gene Colan, with inks by Vinnie Colletta and lettering by Artie Simek, the cover by Gene Colan and Frank Giacoia captures the grim tension of a hero at his lowest. A 12-cent comic from 1968.
