The stories deepen Daredevil's personal struggles with his secret identity and relationships with Foggy Nelson and Karen Page, all rendered in the classic Marvel style of the early 1970s. This collection captures a defining stretch of the Man Without Fear's adventures as he battles both street-level threats and super-powered menaces.
In "Night Flight!", Daredevil races to uncover the truth behind a wave of terror gripping New York, tracing the chaos to a vengeful former lawyer with a personal grudge. With Gene Colan’s moody artwork and Tom Palmer’s sharp inks bringing the shadows to life, this 2015 Marvel Masterworks entry delivers a tense, character-driven mystery where justice and obsession collide. Cover by Gil Kane and Tom Palmer adds a classic flair to a story that’s as much about the cost of the law as it is about the fight for it.
In "Once Upon a Time—The Ox!", Daredevil finds himself in the middle of a high-society soirée when the massive, enigmatic Ox crashes through the scene, turning the elegant evening into a fight for survival. As tensions rise and old connections fray, a sudden shift in loyalties leaves Matt with a surprising new chapter unfolding—though what lies ahead for him and the woman who steps into the spotlight remains uncertain.
In "Call Him Killgrave!", Daredevil faces off against the mind-controlling menace known as the Purple Man, while Black Widow reconnects with an old ally from her past. As Daredevil helps track her down, the mysterious Ivan reveals fragments of her shadowed history, weaving a tense web of memory and danger.
In "The Sinister Secret of Project Four!", Daredevil and the Widow confront a chilling revelation as she finally reveals the truth behind Project Four and her past with Danny French. As the weight of the past crashes down, both heroes are gripped by sudden, overwhelming fear—leaving them vulnerable in a battle not just against enemies, but against their own minds.
In "Fear Is the Key!," Black Widow follows a lead to Danny French, suspecting his connection to Project Four is behind her sudden panic attacks—only to find her instincts misdirected. Meanwhile, Daredevil uncovers a deeper conspiracy, realizing the terror gripping the city is orchestrated by Mr. Fear, a former lawyer named Larry Cranston seeking vengeance.
In "On the Eve of the Talon!", the Black Widow and Danny French find themselves in a tense standoff with Damon Dran as he presses them for information about Project Four. When a San Francisco reporter begins exposing Matt Murdock as Daredevil, the vigilante makes a dramatic entrance at a brutal clash between himself and the enigmatic Blue Talon.
In "The Widow Will Make You Pay!" from Marvel Masterworks: Daredevil #9, Jo, the black Widow, steps into the fray when Daredevil lies wounded in the hospital after being shot by one of Man-Bull’s henchmen. As a strange waterborne contagion begins turning people into man-bulls, Jo must hold the line while Daredevil fights to recover and face the threat head-on.
