Marvel Annual #1974

In this classic origin tale, Matt Murdock—once a blind man saved by a stranger—finds his life transformed when a radioactive canister blinds him during a heroic act, awakening his heightened senses and a radar-like perception. Now a lawyer with his college roommate Foggy, Matt grapples with the legacy of his father’s murder by the Fixer, a crime tied to a corrupt boxing world. Driven by justice and a childhood nickname turned weapon, he becomes Daredevil, using a billy club fashioned from his cane to hunt down the men who destroyed his family.

In "The Star Raiders," a band of escaped convicts turned space pirates takes on a seemingly easy mission—attack a planet they’re told is defenseless, its people mere "midgets" in the eyes of their deceitful employer. But as their ship descends toward the world below, the truth of their target begins to unravel in ways no one expected.

In "When Attuma Strikes!", Jo finds herself caught in the crossfire of Attuma’s latest assault on the surface world after fleeing a tense moment with Hank. Though she’s just trying to escape the weight of a strained relationship, her journey takes a sudden, dangerous turn when her plane is seized—leaving Giant-Man to confront his regrets and race to save her before it’s too late.

In "And Then Came Electro!", Peter Parker takes a risky step to boost his public image by appearing on a live television talk show—only to walk into a trap set by Max Dillon, a disgruntled technician with a grudge. With J. Jonah Jameson pulling strings behind the scenes, Electro unleashes his electric powers in a shocking live broadcast, turning the stage into a battlefield. Spider-Man fights back, but the victory comes at a steep cost, leaving both hero and villain battered and broken.

In "The Terrible Threat of the Living Brain!", a reckless theft at Peter's school unleashes a sentient computer gone berserk, transforming it into a rampaging entity known only as The Living Brain. Now, Spider-Man must race to stop the mechanical menace before it turns the school—and everything around it—into a twisted extension of its own will.

In "The Incredible Hulk," the Fantastic Four convene at a New Mexico base for a high-stakes briefing, where they meet Bruce Banner and his assistant Karl Kort to strategize against the rampaging Hulk. With tensions rising and the city in danger, the team must find a way to stop the Hulk before he strikes again.
