Daredevil #98

Published in April 1973, Daredevil #98 serves as a notable entry in the 'Daredevil' series during a transitional period for the character. It was written by Gerry Conway, a prolific writer known for his significant contributions to the Marvel Universe during the Bronze Age of comics. The story continues the character's journey through the gritty urban environment of New York City, maintaining the blend of noir-inspired vigilantism and superhero action that defined the title's identity throughout the decade.

The interior artwork for this issue was primarily handled by Gene Colan, an artist celebrated for his atmospheric, shadow-heavy style that perfectly complemented the moody tone of Daredevil's world. Colan's ability to render motion and emotion in a cinematic fashion was instrumental in establishing the visual language of the book. The cover art, featuring the character in a precarious position, reflects the heightened stakes of the storytelling prevalent in Marvel comics of that era, which were often focused on pushing the protagonist into increasingly complex psychological and physical dilemmas.
