The Owl Takes Glide

 This issue is the debut of the sinister OWL.  We meet him as he is being investigated for fraud. With the illusion of a legitimate buisnessman is shed, he decides to put together a criminal gang.  In one of the more unbelievable scenes, The Owl drops two henchman down a pit only to save them to show his power to them. 
  Neither the sharpshooter, or the superstrong henchman then turn to him and beat him senseless. Gliding does not help you on the ground.  Things get better as we return to the city. The Owl is trying to get Murdoch and Nelson to be his lawyer. instead Daredevil turns up and takes on him and his two goons.  
  The fights have that old sense of cartoon fun. Karen is the typical 1960's female, whose only characteristic seems to be her pinning for our hero. Over all it is stupid silver age fun. Recommended.

This issue is notable for the debut of the Owl and not an awful lot else, to be honest.  At the beginning Owlie is pretending to be a respectable businessman who is being warned by his accountant that the Feds have cottoned on to his dishonest dealings.  In a magnificent display of true sadism, in probably the issue's best moment, the Owl turns round and tells the poor accountant that he knows and he's going to take the fall for him.  Nyah, nyah.  The poor accountant ends up throwing himself in ...
