Featuring the debut of his iconic radar sense and classic villains like the Owl and the Purple Man, this hardcover edition showcases the foundational stories by writer Stan Lee and artist Bill Everett that established the Man Without Fear as a key Marvel hero.
In "The Evil Menace of Electro!" from Marvel Masterworks: Daredevil #1, Matt Murdock is called in to inspect a new lease on the Baxter Building—only to find himself in the middle of a high-voltage showdown when Electro infiltrates the lab to steal Reed Richards’ most guarded secrets. With the Fantastic Four’s home under siege and danger crackling in the air, Daredevil must rely on his sharpened senses to uncover the threat before it’s too late.
In "The Owl, Ominous Overlord of Crime!", a cunning financier turned criminal mastermind takes control of Hell's Kitchen's underworld, hiring Matt Murdock to clear his name—only to turn on him. As the Owl assembles a gang and traps Daredevil and Karen, the hero must break free before the criminal's reign of chaos takes hold.
In "The Mysterious Masked Matador!", a fallen bullfighter, driven by bitterness and a thirst for vengeance, dons a flamboyant mask and unleashes chaos on the city—his dramatic cape a constant, distracting presence. As Daredevil races to stop him, personal doubts surface when Foggy shares his plans to propose to Karen, leaving Matt torn between confession and silence, and ultimately choosing to retreat into solitude.
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 overwhelmed by fear gas. With his senses compromised, he finds himself hunted by Mr. Fear, who’s turned Daredevil’s own image into a wax figure for his macabre museum. As Daredevil and Foggy fight back against the Fellowship, Foggy is injured, forcing Daredevil to confront the twisted game in the heart of the wax museum.
In "The Stiltman Cometh!" from Marvel Masterworks: Daredevil #1, Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson take on a case that quickly spirals from a routine legal matter into a dangerous game of deception—when a disgruntled scientist they're hired to represent reveals himself as both the true thief and the new menace known as Stilt-Man. The story unfolds with sharp legal intrigue and a sudden shift into the streets of Hell's Kitchen, where justice takes a more physical turn.
In "That He May See," Matt Murdock returns to his past when an old college friend, now the ruler of the tiny nation of Lichtenbad, invites him to undergo an experimental procedure to restore his sight. What begins as a personal journey quickly turns into a dangerous mission when Matt discovers the so-called "doctor" is a front for a brutal regime, and the country’s only hope lies in the hands of the blind lawyer who once thought he’d never see again.
In "The Organization!, Part 1: While the City Sleeps!", Daredevil races to uncover the truth behind a political campaign gone wrong when Foggy Nelson is recruited to run as District Attorney for the Reform Party—only to find the shadowy Organizer and his Ani-Men pulling strings beneath the city’s surface. With the streets cloaked in fog and secrets thick in the air, Matt Murdock must navigate a web of deception before the election night brings more than just a change in leadership.
