Collects Daredevil (1964) #75-84 and material from Amazing Adventures (1970) #1-8.

One of the greatest eras in the history of the Man Without Fear begins here! In 1971, DD's new writer, Gerry Conway, and master artist Gene Colan were joined by Tom Palmer to form a creative team that captivated readers. Meanwhile, the Black Widow, fresh off of her own solo adventures - all of which are presented in this volume in stunning Masterworks quality - joined Daredevil, and one of Marvel's greatest duos was born! The action includes revolutionaries, a battle against Spider-Man and the Sub-Mariner, the Man-Bull, the Owl, the Scorpion, the conclusion of the Mr. Kline saga, and the trial of the Black Widow. But the drama isn't all action: With the Black Widow in Daredevil's life, what will become of Matt Murdock's relationship with the lovely Karen Page?

5.0 out of 5 stars SEXY STUFF from COLAN, EVERETT & THE BLACK WIDOW
Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2014
Volume 8 of the Daredevil Marvel Masterworks celebrates the start of a 44 issue Black Widow team-up with the Widow's first eight solo stories from Amazing Adventures #1 to #8 cover dated August 1970 to September 1971 then picks up Daredevil #75 to #84 April 19714 to February 1972.

The eight Black Widow stories from Amazing Adventures ran a mere 10 pages an issue since it was forced to share the book with The Inhumans. On the whole you had some beautiful art by some of the Marvel comic legends and some pretty bad stories. The 4 stories from #1 to #4 are written by Gary Friedrich and finished by Mimi Gold. The story about urban Hispanic street gangs is a bad mismatch with the Black Widow and does very little to make her series exciting reading. The art however is excellent with the first two parts by John Buscema and the final two episodes by the team of Gene Colan and Bill Everett.

Roy Thomas comes on board for a three part story from Amazing Adventures #5 to #7 . Gerry Conway writes the final chapter. Roy must have decided the book needed a supervillian but he introduces one of the very lamest The Astrologist . He looks like fat Hobo in a star covered bed sheet. The story about hippies and psychics is quite another mis-match. the tone of the Black widow stories should have made her a jet setting female version of James bond or Modesty Blaise. Ivan her chauffeur plays a role very reminiscent of Willie Garvin, Modesty's protective non-romantic guardian. Gene Colan and Bill Everett do the first chapter and Don Heck and Everett make a strange pairing for the following two.

I must make mention that I was sheltered youth of 12 years old with raging hormones when these books first appeared in my local drug stores spinner rack. The Black widow shower scene from Amazing Adventures #5 pages 4 and 5 done by Colan & Everett was perhaps my favorite panels of art ever and was burned into my brain. A couple years ago Marvel released A Marvel Premiere Hard Cover of the Widow and and I remember being mildly disappointed revisiting this material. But now this Masterwork has the even racier Original material in the back of the volume from before the comics code forced some toning down.

The last 10 page solo from AA #8 is by Thomas and Heck and features another super lame villain The Watchlord who's costume it looks like Don Heck smashed together every villains crazy costume in to one costume.

Daredevil #75 and #76 is a the first pre-Widow story is a two parter, It features a villain named El Condor and takes place south the equator. in his introduction Gerry Conway claims it is tribute to Science Fiction writer Keith Laumer. Besides the inclusion of an ambassador I don't understand. The art by Colan and Tom Palmer is excellent.

Daredevil #77 is either a done in one or a prequel to a Conway Sub-Mariner story. It features more Colan & Palmer art and Conway's best writing yet. Daredevil and Spider-Man are both lamenting their troubled life when they meet and each craves the others life. On page 134 of this story Mary Jane Watson makes a three panel appearances but is given platinum blonde hair color. This color error is a repeat of the original and should have been corrected. This is my only complainant with color restoration which is on the whole excellent.

Daredevil #78 & #79 is a two parter which Conway boasts is the creation of his first successful super-villian the Man-Bull. The story revolves around a Hippy couple who come to New York and end up staying with Matt Murdock. The couple named George Alec and Dia are based on friends of Comway's Science Fiction writer George Alec Effinger and his wife at the time Diane. Also on page 183 Marvel Head Honcho Stan Lee and his wife former model Joan make an appearance. They break the fourth wall as DD calls Lee "Fearless Leader" and Stan says he has to get home and write Spider-Man. The final cameo is on page 187 when George Alec and his wife locate the man they came to New York to meet. Gardner I believe is Gardner Dozois, Science Fiction writer and editor.

Daredevil #80 and #81 are a two part Owl story in which Black widow joins the story at the beginning of DD #81 by saving Daredevil's life.

In Daredevil #82 the Widow fights The Scorpion who jumps to his death. In DD #83 Daredevil spends most of the story trying to capture Black Widow for the Scorpion's murder then defending her in court against Foggy Nelson. Mister Hyde is also in the story. Alan Weiss fills in for Colan with a very nice job.

In the last story Conway tries to pull together all the plot elements from his behind the scenes big bad guy story. But the story comes off like a train wreck. He is first called Mister Lynch, then he is called The Assassin. He appears in both Sub-Mariner and Iron-Man also behind the scenes He first works with The Owl then creates androids of The Scorpion and Mister Hyde. Then he blackmails Foggy. Then it is revealed that he is an egg headed android himself. Next he is in Switzerland convincing the Widow he is a Doctor and can restore Murdock's hearing. Finally as The Assassin goes beserk two people from 30 thousand years in the future come back to retrieve him. WTF

Overall some average to very good writing with some of the best art work yet on the book. Plus the usual high production values.

Highly Recommended

This 'Spiderman' Archive Volume Eight does the near impossible. I can read comics from another era that would cost hundreds of dollars if I were to purchase the original copies. Such a deal!
