It covers Matt Murdock's origin as a blind lawyer turned vigilante, his first battles against foes like the Owl, the Matador, and Electro, and his early team-ups with Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four. The title references the classic cover of issue #1, where Daredevil swings through a sleeping New York City skyline.
In "The Evil Menace of Electro!" from Mighty Marvel Masterworks: Daredevil #1, Matt Murdock is called in by the Fantastic Four to review a lease on the Baxter Building—only to find himself caught in the middle of a high-stakes break-in by Electro, who’s after Reed Richards’ most guarded secrets. With the building’s security compromised and danger crackling in the air, Matt must rely on his instincts to untangle the chaos before it’s too late.
In "The Owl, Ominous Overlord of Crime!", a ruthless financier transformed by scandal becomes the criminal mastermind known as the Owl, hiring Matt Murdock to clear his name—only to turn on him. As the Owl assembles a gang and traps Daredevil and Karen in a web of deceit, Murdock must break free and dismantle the new threat from within the underworld.
In "The Mysterious Masked Matador!", a fallen bullfighter seeks vengeance through dramatic flair and relentless cape-waving, forcing Daredevil to confront both a flamboyant foe and his own tangled emotions. As Matt wrestles with the weight of unspoken feelings, Foggy’s unexpected announcement sends his thoughts spiraling—leaving Matt to choose between love and solitude.
In "Trapped by the Fellowship of Fear," Daredevil stumbles into a staged movie set that's actually a front for a bank heist, only to be overwhelmed by fear gas. With the Fellowship of Fear using his own image to create a wax figure for their macabre museum, Daredevil must confront their twisted game—especially when Foggy is hurt in the crossfire.
In "In Mortal Combat with... Sub-Mariner!", Daredevil finds himself caught in a high-stakes clash when Namor, the Sub-Mariner, takes his crusade against humanity to a dramatic and violent extreme. With the sea king determined to make his case through force after legal avenues fail, Daredevil must confront the Atlantean warrior not as an enemy, but as a man who believes he’s fighting for survival.
In "The Stiltman Cometh!" from Mighty Marvel Masterworks: Daredevil #1, Matt Murdock and his partner Jo take on a case that leads them from a corporate theft claim to a masked menace on stilts—only to find the real culprit is the very scientist they were hired to defend.

In "That He May See!", Matt Murdock returns to his past when an old college friend, now ruler of the small European nation of Lichtenbad, invites him to visit—hoping to restore Matt’s sight through a mysterious doctor. But the moment Daredevil arrives, he’s thrust into a country gripped by oppression, where his friend’s rule is anything but benevolent, and the only man who might heal him becomes a casualty of the uprising.
In "While the City Sleeps! Part One: The Organization!", Daredevil races to uncover the truth behind a political campaign gone wrong when Foggy Nelson is drawn into a Reform Party run for District Attorney—only to find the shadowy Organizer and his Ani-Men pulling strings from the dark.
