Faking his own death in a plane crash of his own making, Matt Murdock has decided to live only under the identity of Daredevil. Showing up at the D.A.'s Office to find his walking stick, he finds a grieving Karen Page, who wants to keep it as a keep-sake. DD then follows her home, and sneaks in at night while she is asleep and steals it back.

After a brief fight with some common thieves and giving a brief assist to Spider-Man, Daredevil soon hears about a challenge being posed by his foe Mr. Fear. He eventually accepts Fear's challenge and the two get into a fight, however during the course of the combat, DD suddenly becomes a coward and runs away.

Synopsis for ""Cry Coward!""

Reprint of the 1st story from
Daredevil #55

In semi-hiding, Daredevil recovers from his battle against Mr. Fear, Daredevil stops an attempted mugging. During the fight he has a sudden bout of debilitating fear, and the muggers gain the upper hand until the police break things up. DD is balked by all the spectators who label him a coward, all influenced by the negative press labeling Him as a chicken.

Wondering how he could defeat Mr. Fear, DD visits the District Attorney's office and asks Foggy Nelson for a favor and has the warden read him the file on Zoltan Drago (The identity of the original Mr. Fear). When Mr. Fear attempts to rob an armored car, DD is there to stop him. During the fight, Daredevil informs Mr. Fear that he knows that he isn't Zoltan Drago - the original - because the original Mr. Fear had a fear of heights and would never use a flying device, like the one they are fighting on.

During the course of the fight, DD unmasks Mr. Fear, revealing him to be Starr Saxon. His plot foiled, Starr jumps off the floating platform to his apparent death. DD then reveals that Starr placed fear capsules in the billy club while he was in possession of it, and that they were the cause of his bouts of cowardice.
