Daredevil #81: Death Is a Black Widow! #81

About this issue

Daredevil, the Man Without Fear, is sinking fast. Knocked senseless and plunged into the murky Hudson River after his deadly clash with the Owl, the blind hero has only one thing left on his side: time. In this classic Bronze Age Marvel adventure, the clock ticks away second by second as the Man Without Fear fights to survive. Gerry Conway's tense script and Gene Colan's moody, cinematic artwork, inked by Jack Abel, give the story a dark, atmospheric feel. Shadowy rooftops, rain-soaked skylines and dramatic underwater scenes show why Colan's run on the title is so well remembered. The Owl, a gambling mastermind who believes he has planned every move, is still at large. Meanwhile Matt Murdock's friends fear the worst, and the Black Widow is racing to reach him. The cover promises that death may arrive in the form of a woman called Widow, and the issue delivers street-level superhero action mixed with romance, rivalry and danger in the heart of New York City. If you collect Silver and Bronze Age Marvel, follow Daredevil's history, or enjoy noir-flavoured superhero stories, this November 1971 issue is a great addition to your library.
