*Marvel: In Daredevil #18 the Gladiator made his debut in a story dripping in atmosphere, standing out due to his sinister spinning wrist buzz-saw blades. Drawn and designed by Jazzy John Romita in one of his last outings on the title before switching to Spider-Man. The Gladiator featured again in the following issue alongside the Masked Marauder as DD fought the underworld. A blistering two-parter from the pen of Stan Lee.
