All that matters is– Mike Murdock must die!
Last issue, Stilt-Man tried to team up with Leap-Frog, but that fizzled. Leap-Frog was arrested again, but Stilt-Man escaped with the Masked Marauder, who stands revealed as Frank Farnum, the building manager.
This issue, Daredevil runs into Spider-Man. It’s a small city.
This is our first chance to see Gene handling Spider-Man. He has a good take on the character.
Stilt-Man captures Matt, Karen, and Foggy, believing they can help the Masked Marauder learn Daredevil’s true identity.
Matt gives in easily and reveals the truth: Daredevil is Mike Murdock.
So the Masked Marauder declares: Mike Murdock must die!
If you’re going to tell the whole world that Daredevil is your twin brother, how is that making anybody safer?
Anyways, Matt jumps out of the helicopter and then Daredevil jumps back in. I guess Mike must have quickly rescued Matt, or something.
The Masked Marauder is killed by his helicopter’s disintegrating force field.
Now who is going to manage the building?
And Stilt-Man is defeated by, well, water. It takes all of a page.
