Daredevil Omnibus Vol. 4

1970s Daredevil classics packed with new characters, key moments and the gritty art that cemented DD as one of Marvel’s greatest heroes!

Within these pages, the Black Widow bids farewell to both her partnership and romance with Daredevil — while his new girlfriend Heather Glenn’s powerful father harbors secrets that threaten to bring their world crashing down. Meanwhile, another lost love — Karen Page — finds herself in danger in Los Angeles. First appearances of Torpedo and Paladin expand Marvel’s roster of heroes, but it’s Bullseye’s deadly debut that makes history in Hell’s Kitchen! Plus: legendary team-ups with Black Panther, Namor, and Ghost Rider — and the arrival of Frank Miller!
