Daredevil #70-71 (1970)


Daredevil closes out a year with a new villain: Tribune.  He’s never seen again.

Gary Friedrich takes the writing reins from Roy Thomas for the first half, and then Thomas returns for #71-so this is probably a Roy Thomas joint, with Friedrich punching it up to meet a deadline. 

It reads like a Thomas story, too: Heavily moralistic and presenting a simplified view of the world.  Tribune is basically Fox News the Supervillain, killing hippie protesters.

Newsman Walter Cronkite appears.
