As Foggy proceeds to tell DD, she’s asked for a few days off and has gone home - though where “home” is, he has no idea.Īs we learn on the next page, Karen has avoided talking about her dad all the time Foggy and Matt have known her, because her dad was widely accused of being a traitor.
There’s a hitch, however because when Daredevil arrives at the office of his former law partner, New York District Attorney Franklin “Foggy” Nelson, Karen - who works there as Foggy’s secretary - isn’t in. So why is ol’ Hornhead breaking out his best Beatles warble? Why, because he’s on his way to see the love of his life, Karen Page, and tell her that the man she’s been needlessly mourning for weeks isn’t really dead! It’s gonna be great! “Then I’ll conjure up a new legal name,” he tells himself on page 2, “and we’ll be altar bound - !” Well, yeah, DD, when you put it like that, it sounds easy. On second thought, if you were familiar with late-Sixties Marvel comics - maybe you wouldn’t be. With the man who had known Daredevil’s secret no longer among the living, that specific problem was obviously now solved but, considering that DD was still left with no civilian identity, and that all of his friends and loved ones still thought he was dead, you’d probably be surprised to find the guy, at the beginning of issue #56, swinging through New York’s concrete canyons singing a happy tune. While Daredevil’s strategy against Saxon had centered on the rather drastic expedient of staging Matt’s violent demise in an aerial explosion, his ultimate victory actually came about when, while tussling with our hero high over the streets of Manhattan, Saxon slipped and fell to his (apparent) death.
The last issue of Daredevil discussed in this blog, #55, ended with the Man Without Fear’s decisive triumph over Starr Saxon, the sinister technologist who’d discovered his secret identity as attorney Matt Murdock back in #51.
