DAREDEVIL #185 (1982): Guts

Another perfect 10 issue: Guts Nelson.

Only Frank Miller could make chasing down a paper trail something visually entertaining…

daredevil 185

Foggy Nelson’s journey defending a client is interwoven with Daredevil fighting the same criminals who set up Foggy’s client, in the background.

Foggy never sees Daredevil, nor do the criminals, but Turk assumes Foggy has a powerful gang behind him when a posse of Turk’s allies all get taken out.

And then this scene is repeated with Kingpin.

Badass.

This issue is one of my 100 favorite self-contained issues of all time. For the full list, go here.
