Daredevil #7
"Enter… Spider-Man!" delivers a sharp, character-driven clash in Daredevil #7 (1980), a standout moment in the series' early run. Written by Stan Lee and Denny O'Neil, with dynamic art by John Romita and Frank Giacoia, the story sees Foggy Nelson donning a Daredevil costume for a staged showdown—only for a real threat to emerge in the form of the newly arrived Gladiator. In the fog-laden streets, the line between performance and peril blurs, leaving Matt Murdock to step in before the truth is lost in the shadows. The cover by Romita and Giacoia captures the tension perfectly, a 60-cent comic in 1980 that remains a fan-favorite for its clever mix of humor, suspense, and the ever-present mystery of the masked hero.
In "None are So Blind..!", Spidey, convinced he's uncovered Daredevil's identity, launches a playful but tense accusation—Foggy Nelson, of all people, must be DD. Foggy, amused and eager to impress Karen, leans into the ruse, blurring the lines between jest and suspicion. When the Masked Marauder strikes, the unlikely duo—Spidey and Daredevil—put aside their rivalry to stop the real threat, proving that even mistaken suspicions can lead to unexpected teamwork.
In "There Shall Come a Gladiator!", a costume store owner's bold belief that clothes make the man leads him to don a flashy new suit and become the Gladiator. When Foggy Nelson, seeking to impress Karen Page, agrees to a staged fight with the new vigilante, the stunt quickly spirals out of control—forcing Matt Murdock to step in and protect his friend, all while the night and the fog keep the true identity of Daredevil hidden in plain sight.
