Daredevil wraps up his partnership with Black Widow and embarks on a whole new set of solo Bronze Age adventures in Daredevil Omnibus Vol. 4.
The Omnibus collects Daredevil #120-158, Daredevil Annual #4 (featuring a team-up with Black Panther and Namor), Ghost Rider #20 (a crossover adventure in search of Karen Page in Los Angeles), Marvel Premiere #39, 40, and 43 (featuring solo adventures of DD’s “frenemies” The Torpedo and Paladin), and a Daredevil story from What If? #8 (“What If the World Knew Daredevil Was Blind?”).
All of the stories are written by Marv Wolfman, Jim Shooter, Roger McKenzie, Tony Isabella, Len Wein, Chris Claremont, Bill Mantlo, Gerry Conway, Mary Jo Duffy, Don Glut, Don McGregor, and Roger Stern.
Art is provided by Bob Brown, Gene Colan, Gil Kane, John Buscema, John Byrne, Sal Buscema, Lee Elias, George Tuska, Carmine Infantino, Frank Robbins, Frank Miller, Alan Kupperberg, Tom Sutton, Vince Colletta, Klaus Janson, Jim Mooney, Don Perlin, Frank Chiaramonte, Keith Pollard, Dan Green, Tony DeZuniga, Steve Leialoha, Frank Springer, Al Milgrom, Joe Rubenstein, Bob Wiacek, Alan Weiss, and Tom Sutton.
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 the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen’s 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, the Mandrill, Black Wing, El Jaguar, Silvermane, Man-Killer, Dreadnaught, Mentallo, Jackhammer, Torpedo, and Death-Stalker.
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 writer Marv Wolfman.
The Daredevil Omnibus Vol. 4 consists of 976 pages for a suggested retail price of $125.00.
