Strange Spécial Origines #142
"Les origines de Daredevil" in Strange Spécial Origines #142 (1981) delivers a crisp, action-packed origin story rooted in Cold War intrigue and high-stakes espionage. Written by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, with art by Kirby and inks by Dick Ayers, this issue introduces Nick Fury’s rise from a mysterious operative to the leader of SHIELD, all set aboard the Heli-Carrier and driven by a gadget-laden car that transforms mid-flight. The cover by Jean-Yves Mitton captures the tension of the moment, perfectly framing Fury’s pivotal decision.
In "Les origines de Daredevil," Matt Murdock’s life changes in an instant when he saves a blind man from a truck, only to be blinded by a radioactive canister during the rescue. The accident heightens his remaining senses and grants him a unique radar sense, setting him on a path he never expected. As he builds a new life as a lawyer with his roommate Foggy, the ghosts of his father’s murder by the Fixer begin to pull him toward justice—leading him to craft a costume, forge a weapon from his cane, and embrace the name Daredevil.
In a poignant 1981 tale from *Strange Spécial Origines #142*, Daredevil’s tour of duty in Vietnam brings him face-to-face with Willie Lincoln, a newly blinded soldier grappling with loss and disorientation. Back in New York, when Lincoln faces a corrupt legal battle rooted in his past, Matt Murdock steps in—only to find that the shadows from his former life are still hunting him.
In "L'homme de la situation," Nick Fury arrives at the Pentagon to find himself surrounded by Life Model Decoys—perfect copies of his own face. As he's whisked away in a high-tech car that transforms mid-drive, he's drawn into the secret world of SHIELD, an international force dedicated to stopping HYDRA's global ambitions. With Tony Stark overseeing its arsenal, Fury must decide whether to take command of the Heli-Carrier and the mission it represents—before a hidden bomb forces his hand.
