    Daredevil proves he is"The Man Without Fear"

    Having read  all the Daredevil issues, this story is one of the best battles of the early Marvel universe when Stan Lee reigned supreme. The Submariner was being used alot at the time hitting almost every title especially Fantastic Four and finally made his way to Daredevil. Here the Submariner visits the Law firm of Matt Murdock wanting to sue the human race for depriving his people of their birthright, the surface of the earth."Murdock tells the Submariner his case would be thrown out of court . It doesn't quite work out for the Submariner and he goes nuts causing havok . FF and the Avengers are not in town. So Daredevil has to bring him down. It doen't quite work out for him either . The Submariner hands it to him. Daredevil does not give up until he collapses. The best is when Daredevil falls into unconciousness the Submariner says of Daredevil,"Out of all the super powered humans I have fought, none have been more courageous than he ,the most vulnerable of all. " and out of respect for him spares mankind again returning to the sea.. The artwork is beautifully done by Wally Wood. This can be read in Daredevil's Marvel Masterpieces vol1.

Think about that for a minute - what a great premi...

      What a peculiar set up for this issue, with perhaps the first time Daredevil facing a foe (if we dare to call Namor that) who punches well above his weight.  The early scenes with the Sub-Mariner are, possibly unintentionally, hilarious.  After travelling around the bottom of the ocean being pulled along by a couple of turtles (or maybe he was taking them out for a walk), Namor visits New York determined to strike a deal with the humans about access for his sea dwelling race.  Namor, who has of ...
