Daredevil #220

Published by Marvel Comics in July 1985, Daredevil #220 stands as a notable entry during the mid-eighties era of the series. This issue is part of a period where the title explored complex, character-driven narratives that expanded on the gritty atmosphere established in earlier years, focusing on Matt Murdock’s internal conflicts and his struggle to reconcile his legal profession with his life as a vigilante in Hell’s Kitchen.

The issue features artwork by penciler Sal Buscema, whose prolific and distinct style was a staple of Marvel during this time. The creative team aimed to maintain the tension and high-stakes drama expected of the Daredevil mythos, relying on Buscema's clear storytelling and expressive character work to advance the unfolding plotlines of the mid-eighties run. It remains a representative example of the standard monthly comic book production of the era, reflecting the collaborative efforts of editors, writers, and artists to sustain long-running superhero serials.
