Daredevil #132

Title: Bullseye rules supreme!

Writer: Marv Wolfman

Artist: Bob Brown

Villain: Bullseye

Regulars: Foggy Nelson, Heather Glenn, Bert Rose

In last month's issue Bullseye lured Daredevil into a circus attempt, while the performance is running. He wants a big audience when he defeats Daredevil. It's a contest between Bullseye's infallible aim and Daredevil's uncanny acrobatics.

Daredevil isn't in top form, because he's still stunned after the grenade explosion last issue. He barely manages to defend himself against Bullseye's attacks and can't muster a counteroffensive. Bullseye considers Daredevil an unworthy opponent and loses interest in the fight. He fires at a water tank and escapes in a cloud of steam. Bert Rose arrives and claims that costumed super-heroes are less efficient than the police.

Matt goes home and finds Heather waiting for him. They go out to eat at a restaurant on 56th Street. I assume it's a good area, or it wouldn't have been named. At the same time, Bullseye is threatening a rich couple in their apartment, demanding $100,000 from them. Henry Foster says he'll give him the money the next day. Bullseye agrees, but he says he'll kill them if they call the police. As soon as Bullseye leaves, Henry picks up the phone to call the police, but Bullseye is waiting outside and overhears the call. He goes back in to kill Henry and his wife.

The restaurant is close enough for Matt Murdock's hyper-sensitive senses to hear what's happening. He rushes out of the restaurant, leaving Heather behind, and changes into Daredevil. In a confined space Daredevil has the advantage. He's able to engage Bullseye in a fist fight, and he quickly knocks him out. Before leaving, he tells Henry to call Bert Rose. Now he'll see who's efficient.
