When a computer transfer fries the previously recorded episode slated for the week, Dave seizes an opportunity to sync up with a holiday weekend- and talk about CAPTAIN AMERICA!!

Originally slated as a “hidden track” style show, Dave’s Captain America Spectacular was intended to cover the 1970’s Jack Kirby run on the Sentinel of Liberty’s comic.

But, plans changed, and the show didn’t see the light of day- UNTIL NOW.

Join Dave as he looks at Captain America 193 and 194 in the pilot episode of a back-up podcast, and celebrate the Independence Day weekend with the Star-Spangled Avenger.

This week, it’s the final tale of Ol’ Hornhead from the pen of Stan Lee.

Dave cracks open Daredevil issue 50, which concludes Stan’s run of 49 regular issues, and one annual.

Daredevil faces a killer robot bent on his death, as well as the robot’s maker, Starr Saxon.

But, things take a twist when Daredevil has to stop the robot from killing Biggie Benson, the man who sent the robot after Daredevil in the first place.

Daredevil has had it with the superhero racket. He is on the out with Foggy, and Karen. It may be time to hang up the red duds.

Unfortunately, the killer robot hiding in Matt Murdock’s closet has other plans for the Man Without Fear, namely DEATH.

With Daredevil issue 49, Dave looks at the final pair of Daredevil tales from Stan Lee, ending his run with a sci-fi horror tale that would make James Cameron proud.

It is back to classic Daredevil action, as Dave looks at one of the more underrated Daredevil villains- The Jester.

As we look at Daredevil issue 46, we see Daredevil in prison, framed for a murder that he did not commit. The Jester has managed to outmaneuver and outsmart the man without fear.

How can Daredevil track down the mystery villain, and get his name cleared from behind bars? Why, stage a jailbreak, of course.

Join Dave in looking at Daredevil’s Hail Mary rush to get out of the slammer, clear his name, and take down the evil menace hiding under The Jester’s mask.

The final rainy day episode is upon us- and it features a story published across 4 issues of Marvel Comics Presents. Dave covers issues 69-72 which features a serialized Daredevil story.

It’s a hot, hot summer. Many New Yorkers are escaping the heat by listening to a new pirate radio station. Plus, there are packs of wild dogs loose in the Big Apple.

With this background, Daredevil falls into a plot involving corrupt science, greedy corporations, super-intelligent dogs, and a soundtrack to die for.

Yep, this could be a gem of a story, or absolute crap. Listen, and find out.

Tender, flaky crusts. Real fruit filling. Golden cake, filled with cream.

What does this have to do with Daredevil? Beyond being delicious, Hostess is well-known for it’s comic book ads, featuring many comic book stars of the time fighting evil with snacks.

One such comic star was The Man Without Fear himself, who starred in six ads. So, for a rainy day episode, Dave took an impromptu look at all six.

The epic comic event that took years to play out in the pages of many comics finally comes to you in podcast form. The drama is off the charts, the action is amazing, and perhaps not everybody gets out alive.

Actually, everybody DOES get out alive, with full bellies.

It’s another rainy day episode, which gives Dave an excuse to go off the reservation, and talk about something beyond Daredevil.

What??? How can a podcast all about Daredevil have no talk of the title character?? Well, Image Comics’ Shadowhawk is one of the strongest analogs to Daredevil in comics.

So, Dave decided to have an off-the-cuff episode talking about the character of Shadowhawk, as well as compare and contrast against Daredevil.

These two are more alike than you might think. And, yet, very different. Listen as Dave puts them head to head, and pitches his idea for a crossover.

This week, a rainy day episode.

For a while, whenever the fancy struck him, Dave has been making episodes for a rainy day. This week, a story that Dave accidentally found in the pages of Marvel Fanfare #7.

A surprisingly emotional, and powerful story that really hit Dave hard in the feels, and hit close to home in an unexpected way.

Now, hear the tale of Daredevil’s saddest story, a failure which he can’t remove. Even heroes fail, and in that we have a lesson from the mind of Bill Mantlo.

Daredevil 101 continues, this time taking a trip into the Ultimate Universe.

We find Elektra Natchios coming to Columbia University, making friends and growing up. But, she is also making enemies.

Greg Rucka brings us an Ultimate retelling of Elektra and Matt’s first meeting, through the lens of a clean-slate Marvel Universe in Ultimate Daredevil and Elektra #1.

Plus, Dave explains how we, the fans, brought about change in the 90’s, leading to the Ultimate Universe.

It is the penultimate episode of Daredevil 101 with yet another #1.

This time, Dave tackles the first issue of the Daredevil Anthology series, Dark Nights, with a story by Lee Weeks that puts Daredevil up against the clock.

As a young girl waits for a life-saving heart, Daredevil must face his complete memory loss to get across a blizzard-struck New York, in the first installment of a 3 part story.
