I have a few minutes before I go to bed that I will review Daredevil 57


"In the Midst of Life"

Writer Roy Thomas, Artist Gene Colan, Inker Syd Shores


Ok last time we saw our here he was on a skeletal horse being shot in the chest but now they are breezing by his head. It turns out in the breif seconds DD was out his jaw was wired shut so he can't tell the police who he is. The skeleton horse jumps the car and runs off. It seems to be flying in the air over the ground. The cops follow and one takes a shot out the window and hits one of those small ropes to free DD who then jumps off the horse. He falls on his other shoulders and the cops catch up and take off the mask which allows DD to speak and then he gets them to take him back to the Page place. Speaking of the Page Place Foggy calls who wants her to come back this guy named Willie Lincoln (who looks like a black Matt Murdock) who has found out about some gang stuff. He browbeats her to come back and as she hangs up the phone DD shows up. He tells her what happened but reveals the horse, which in the art was flying, was just a regular one with special paint to make the bones show. Well if you think about it thats not realy a plain ole horse. He implies that Mr Page my be dead and Karen thinks the same thing. As they talk DD uses his super senses and notices that someone is in the room and it is Garth the butler who gets flustered when DD exposes him then our hero goes to get some shut eye while Karen follows Garth down to the bridge. The wily man goes into the old mill and she follows doggedly. Inside she finds a technological base (read super villain). Getting suspicious she grabs a handy piece of rotting food and moves forward. Garth realizes that she is there grabs a gun and shoots the board. Just then Horn Head swings in (not sure how he got past the other two) and whacks Garth knocking him out. Death's Head shows up. The villain spouts off how he is going to kill DD and reveals that the poor horse, who did nothing wrong, has died from the chemicals and then makes a ball of blue fire appear in his hand. DD uses his club to lasso DH hand and knocks the fireball away. Death's Head taunts DD and says "A pity it shall gain you nothing -- but a traitor's death." DD figure it out jumps the guy again and reveals that DH is really Karen's father. They struggle over a big cauldron of boiling chemicals and DD falls to the floor. It breaks free and the vat starts to pour DD and Karen. Death's Head jumps off the railing and knocks the pair out of the way while the chemicals fall on Paxton Page and kills him. It turns out Paxton was making new weapons and Garth was a Fed sent to watch ouit. Paxton grew crazy thanks to the cobolt radiation and snapped. The next day they bury Paxton in the rain. DD confronts Karen but she says she wants to be alon. He tells her to take off his mask and when she does she finds out he is Matt Murdock.

Until I read 58 and 59.
