“The Mysterious Masked Matador!”

In "The Mysterious Masked Matador!", a fallen bullfighter seeks vengeance through crime, his dramatic flair matched only by his relentless cape-waving—something Daredevil is uniquely equipped to stop. Meanwhile, Foggy’s quiet plan to propose to Karen leaves Matt caught between confession and silence, pushing him toward a solitary path. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with bold, expressive art by Wallace Wood, this 1964 classic features dynamic inks by Wood, vibrant colors by Stan Goldberg, and sharp lettering by Sam Rosen, all on a striking cover by Wood.
