Daredevil battles a variety of familiar menaces on his home turf in the latest Man Without Fear Epic Collection titled The Concrete Jungle.
The stories from 1976-1978 are written by Marv Wolfman and Jim Shooter, with art by Bob Brown, Gil Kane, and Carmine Infantino.
Daredevil: The Concrete Jungle collects Daredevil #133-154, Daredevil Annual #4, Ghost Rider #20 (a crossover adventure in search of Karen Page in Los Angeles), and Marvel Premiere #39, 40, and 43 (featuring solo adventures of DD’s frenemies The Torpedo and Paladin).
Matt Murdock faces many trials and tribulations in the stories, especially when the Jester frames the attorney-in-disguise for murder. Other highlights include disagreements with many members of his rogue’s gallery including the Owl, Bullseye, the Purple Man, Death’s Head, the Smasher, the Beetle, the Gladiator, Cobra, Mr. Hyde, Man-Bull, Death-Stalker, and the unfortunately named Catspaw.
And in a strange bit of 1970’s pop culture, DD also teams up with real-life psychic Uri Geller against Mind-Wave and his Think Tank in Daredevil #133. The issue also included a profile and photo of the infamous mentalist as well as a psychic drawing he did with Wolfman.
Daredevil: The Concrete Jungle consists of 528 pages for a suggested retail price of $49.99.
