In "The Stilt-Man Cometh!", Matt Murdock and his partner Nelson take on a case that quickly spirals into something far more dangerous than a simple theft. When a disgruntled scientist hires them to recover his stolen invention, the duo soon finds themselves facing a twisted twist: the man they're working for is the real culprit—and now he's transformed into the towering, mechanical menace known as Stilt-Man. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with bold, dynamic art by Wally Wood, this 1970 Marvel Super-Heroes classic features a standout cover by Marie Severin and Bill Everett.
