Daredevil 56

"...and Death came Riding"

Writer Roy Thomas, Artist Gene Colan, Inker Syd Shores

Ok it starts with DD swinging and singing. He is happy because after finishing up with Star Saxon and Mr Fear he is ready to see Karen Page. He zips through the city and ends up at Foggy's office. He swings into the room and there are all theses groovy hip kids there and they swarm ole Hornhead. Foggy hears a noise and rushes in to get DD away from the kids and they enter the secret sanctum, well Foggy's office and it is then revealed that Karen is not there. DD asks about where and Foggy says "Say--I thought the quiz shows were all on tv." (wow that kind of writing back then is amazing). A quick search of her employment file her dad is a scientist who invented the cobalt bomb. He refused to give the secret up even with Congress putting on the pressure. Foggy wonders if he could use a patent lawyer and it is revealed the man retired to Vermont. Cut to Karen, she is on a train and has a flashback to a man called Starr Saxon. She is captured and she relives DD coming to save him. She then thinks of the newspaper with the headline Matt is dead. She feels there is a connection. She gets off the stop at Fagan's Corners and it feels a bit sinister. No one seems to recognize her and after searching she gets someone to drive her to her family estate but he drops her off about a mile away. As she walks she starts to cross the old wooden bridge when she hears the clip clop of horse feet. A ghost like creature on a skeletal horse appears and tells her to go away it calls itself Death's Head. Karen ignores it and heads to the house. When she gets there a new butler named Garth greets her. She is taken to her mother who tells her that her father was kidnapped and told not to tell or else he would be killed. Meanwhile Daredevil rides the top of a train thinking about the blonde haired beauty. He is harassed by Death's Head but he makes it to the house. He reveals himself (no he keeps his pants on) and Karen is glad he is there. She tells her problem to him and he decides to help. He goes outside and Death's Head threatens him from a tree branch. DD goes to kick him and finds out that it is a costume balloon. Using all the agility and skill he has follows to the ground. The real Death's Head attacks blasting shafts flame at him, The evil creature uses bolos to knock him out. The criminal ties him up and dresses him in an outfit. He then send Daredevil on his horse at police that have shown up. They get afraid and shoot at him at what looks like his chest.
