In "The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants!", a ruthless financier’s criminal past is laid bare as he transforms into the Owl, a new menace to the city. With Matt Murdock now his lawyer and a gang of hired enforcers at his side, the Owl sets his sights on dominating the underworld—only to face off against Daredevil and the woman he’s trying to protect. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life by Joe Orlando’s dynamic art and Vince Colletta’s inks, this 1969 issue delivers a sharp, tense showdown with a cover by Jack Kirby and George Roussos that captures the menace of the Owl’s rise.
