Collecting issues from the late 1980s, this arc marks a pivotal period of personal and heroic resurrection for the Man Without Fear.
In "The Evil Menace of Electro!" from Daredevil Epic Collection #1, Matt Murdock is called in to review a lease on the Baxter Building—only to find himself in the middle of a high-stakes break-in when Electro infiltrates the facility to steal Reed Richards' most guarded secrets. With the building's defenses compromised and chaos unfolding, Daredevil must navigate the danger without his usual advantage, facing a foe whose power is as unpredictable as his intentions.
In "The Owl, Ominous Overlord of Crime!", a reformed financier turns ruthless, donning the mantle of the Owl to seize control of Hell's Kitchen's criminal underworld. When he hires Matt Murdock to clear his name, the legal defense quickly spirals into a dangerous game of power and deception. With Daredevil and Karen trapped, the Owl's reign begins—but not before Daredevil finds a way to fight back.
In "The Mysterious Masked Matador!", a fallen bullfighter seeks vengeance through a series of theatrical crimes, his dramatic flair matched only by his relentless cape-waving. As Daredevil races to stop him, Matt Murdock is caught between a personal revelation from Foggy and his own unspoken feelings for Karen, leaving him to reconsider the life he’s chosen.
In "Trapped By the Fellowship of Fear," Daredevil stumbles into a staged film set that’s actually a front for a bank heist, only to be overcome by fear gas and captured by the enigmatic Mr. Fear. The villain, obsessed with terror, places a wax figure of Daredevil in his macabre museum, daring the blind hero to face his worst fears. With Foggy injured and the city under siege by the Fellowship’s twisted games, Daredevil must confront his own vulnerabilities in a deadly showdown at the wax museum.
In "In Mortal Combat with... Sub-Mariner!", Daredevil finds himself caught in a clash between justice and fury when Namor, desperate to make humanity listen, takes his fight to the courts—then to the streets. With the tide turning against him, the Sub-Mariner’s rage threatens to drown the surface world, forcing Daredevil into a battle he can’t win but must still face.
In "While the City Sleeps! Part One: The Organization!", Foggy Nelson finds himself drawn into a political campaign he never expected—running for District Attorney under the Reform Party—only to uncover a web of corruption tied to the mysterious Organizer and his Ani-Men. As shadows deepen across Hell's Kitchen, Daredevil races to untangle the conspiracy before the city wakes up to the danger lurking beneath the surface.
In "Sightless, in a Savage Land!", Matt Murdock escapes the city’s chaos with a cruise, only to find himself stranded in the wilds of the Savage Land when pirates seize the ship. Taken captive by the Plunderer, he’s forced into the jungle’s heart, where Ka-Zar intervenes after recognizing Daredevil’s costume as a relic of a past clash with the X-Men.
In "The Secret of Ka-Zar's Origin!" from Daredevil Epic Collection #1, Daredevil teams up with Ka-Zar to stop the Plunderer, a man driven by a twisted family legacy tied to a mysterious necklace. As the Plunderer recounts his own origins—and those of his savage brother—the quest for the medallion's power ignites a dangerous scramble among pirates, a butler, and even the heroes themselves, all drawn to the vault it’s said to unlock.
In "If This Be Justice...!", Daredevil teams up with Ka-Zar when the Plunderer wields a mystical stone to seize control of the world, threatening to plunge the globe into chaos. As the battle unfolds, Foggy and Karen arrive in England to stand by Ka-Zar, facing false accusations from his treacherous brother.
In "And Men Shall Call Him...Ox!", a prison escape sets off a twisted game of identity and intellect when the brute known as the Ox is promised a smarter mind by his cunning cellmate, Dr. Karl Stragg. As Daredevil hunts the transformed criminal, the line between man and monster blurs in a fight that tests more than just strength.
In "None Are So Blind..!", Spider-Man, convinced he's uncovered Daredevil's identity, pins the secret on Foggy Nelson—only for Foggy to lean into the ruse just to impress Karen. When the Masked Marauder strikes, the unlikely duo of Daredevil and Spider-Man set aside their rivalry to stop the threat, proving that even the sharpest eyes can miss what's right in front of them.
In "There Shall Come a Gladiator!", a costume store owner’s bold belief that clothes make the man leads him down a dangerous path as the self-proclaimed Gladiator. When Foggy Nelson, armed with a borrowed Daredevil suit, gets roped into a staged fight to impress Karen, the stunt spirals into something far more real—especially when the Gladiator turns his sights on Foggy for keeps. In the thick of night and fog, the line between hero and imposter blurs, leaving Matt Murdock to step in before the chaos goes too far.
In "Alone — against the Underworld!", the Masked Marauder and the Gladiator clash over who gets to take down Foggy Nelson, believing him to be Daredevil. When the real Daredevil arrives, the tide turns—only the fight has just begun.
