The Podcast Without Fear

06- In The Midst of Life

Dave Weter

It’s time for another sojourn into the world of Daredevil, as the Man Without Fear heads to… Vermont?!?!

That’s right. Hornhead is seeking Karen Page, but instead has found Death’s Head, a villain with ties to Karen Page’s childhood.

But, despite the horror movie vibe in the land of maple, don’t discount this issue, because Matt makes a stunning revelation to Karen.

That’s right, this issue has the moment that will one day lead to Daredevil’s ruin, because he tells his lady love that he is Daredevil.

But, how can that be? Matt Murdock is dead, thanks to a plane crash. Never count the Man Without Fear out, as he always finds a way.

And, an even bigger shock to listeners of the show— DAVE SIDES WITH KAREN PAGE.

That’s right. You read that- Dave sides with Karen, the vapid one. Why? Download and find out, folks.

05- The Star-Spangled Avenger

Dave Weter

It’s the living legend versus the Man Without Fear.

When Captain America puts on an exhibition fight for charity, a crazed Daredevil sweeps into the arena to face the star-Spangled Avenger.

It’s an out and out brawl that extends beyond the ring, and into MadisonSquareGarden, all with Gene Colan art, and Stan Lee’s words.

Join Dave as he delves into the Kirby cover and classic storytelling of Daredevil issue 43.

04- You Never Forget Your First

Dave Weter

It’s a trip down memory lane, and a very special episode as Dave looks at a classic issue of Daredevil.

Journey back to a hot summer, in which a young Dave opens up a ratty old comic, and discovers DAREDEVIL.

It’s an origin story, in pure podcast form. Luckily, Dave never took a radioactive vial to the eye-sockets, he just read a comic.

Daredevil #26 features some fun bits with Leap Frog, and a fight with Stilt Man, as well as top notch art from Gene “The Dean” Colan.

Oh, and there is Mike Murdock. Good old MIKE Murdock, fun-loving twin brother of Matt.

03- There Shall Come a Gladiator

Dave Weter

John Romita brings his distinctive art style to Daredevil, as a new villain emerges.

And- THE RED COSTUME APPEARS. Sure, it isn’t the first time in comics, but it is a first for this show.

As Foggy tries to work the old Nelson charm on Karen, he concocts a plan that attracts the wrong kind of attention, the attention of The Gladiator.

When his best-laid plans blow up in his face, Foggy is lucky to have a friend like Daredevil to get him out of a jam in Daredevil 18.
