"Prologue" in Marvel Fanfare #1 (1984) kicks off with a chilling reveal: Damon Dran, a long-standing enemy of both the Widow and Daredevil, is pulling strings from the shadows. With an imposter posing as the Widow, she must break through Ivan's conditioning and warn SHIELD—all while the real threat remains hidden.
