American Comics Update: The Bute Collection: Daredevil #18-20 plus Annual #1
*Marvel: From the Bute Collection this week, a fabulous foursome of classic Daredevil. Starting with #18, where 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, and issue #20 featured the return of the Owl, as Gene Colan took over the pencils for a long run. Colan was also at the helm on the first Daredevil Annual, featuring a ’39 page slam-bang action thriller’ as DD faced off against Electro and his Emissaries of Evil.
