Might Marvel Masterworks - Daredevil Volume 2

 


As I said in my review of Volume One, Daredevil was a fave due to the fact that he did not have extraordinary powers other than his heightened senses and mostly relied on the fact that he trained himself in gymnastics - as well as weights, boxing and the like, of course. But it was his athletic abilities that I was especially enamored of. 

Wally Wood had run his course for DD and this collection begins with the introduction of artist John Romita, who is another Marvel legend and is responsible for the hero's look that most people are familiar with. Of course, Stan the Man is still authoring the tales

In any case, here our blind hero encounters more classic heroes'n'villains, from the heroic'n'primitive Ka-Zar and his treacherous brother the Plunderer to the Ox to the Gladiator to the return of the Owl and, as the cover of this collection shows, a fight with Spider-Man, naturally due to a misunderstanding.

Since I grew up with these 60's comics, I will always find them enduring'n'entertaining and these are no exception. Great stuff!
