About this Collection

This volume of Marvel Masterworks collects Daredevil issues from a period when Matt Murdock's world was expanding into the broader Marvel Universe, featuring crossovers with the likes of Spider-Man, the Black Widow, and the Kingpin. The stories delve into Daredevil's ongoing battles against Bullseye and Wilson Fisk, while also introducing elements involving the Red Guardian and the Black Widow's past. As part of the Masterworks line, this hardcover edition presents restored and remastered versions of these classic tales, preserving the work of the era's top creators for collectors and new readers alike.

"Promises" marks a pivotal moment in the Daredevil mythos, spotlighting Tarkington Brown—a man facing death—whose desperate final act sets a deadly course. Written by Denny O'Neil and brought to life with stark, atmospheric art by Klaus Janson and colorist Glynis Wein, this story delves into moral decay and the cost of justice when pushed to extremes. The cover by John Byrne and Terry Austin captures the tension perfectly, hinting at the storm to come.
