☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis fifth volume of Marvel's Essential Daredevil series collects issues from the late 1970s and early 1980s, featuring the Man Without Fear's adventures alongside allies like the Black Widow and Iron Man, as well as clashes with foes such as Kraven the Hunter and Namor the Sub-Mariner. The collection also delves into cosmic elements with the appearance of Thanos, Moondragon, and Mentor, expanding Daredevil's world beyond Hell's Kitchen. Presented in black-and-white on newsprint, this budget-friendly edition offers a substantial chunk of the character's Bronze Age history.
In "Stilt-Man Stalks the City!", Daredevil faces a new wave of threats as Kerwin J. Broderick unleashes a tide of villains upon the city, setting his sights on becoming King of San Francisco. With Moondragon's help, Daredevil navigates a crisis of perception—his restored sight, once a gift, now hinders his instincts in battle. Written by Steve Gerber and illustrated by Don Heck with inks by Sal Trapani, this 2010 Marvel issue features a striking cover by Gil Kane and Frank Giacoia.
