Wilbur Day, a scientist with severe boundary issues, decided the logical path forward was to steal a pair of hydraulically powered telescoping legs and go on a crime spree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this issue, Wilbur dons a tin suit that extends hundreds of feet into the sky—because nothing says \"stealthy heist\" quite like being visible from three zip codes away. Enter Matt Murdock, a blind attorney who spends his free time dressed in skin-tight red flannel, attempting to defeat a man whose primary tactical advantage is that he is tall. It is a thrilling, deeply nonsensical battle of wits and gravity that leaves one questioning the urban planning standards of 1960s Manhattan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHistorical Significance (Or: Why This Piece of Paper Costs Money)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFirst Appearance \u0026amp; Origin of Stilt-Man:\u003c\/b\u003e Love him or pity him, Wilbur Day makes his grand debut right here.

Your comic will \u003cb\u003enot\u003c\/b\u003e be delivered by a supersonic drone or a man running at Mach 3. It will be carefully sandwiched between heavy corrugated cardboard, wrapped securely, and handed over to the United States Postal Service. From there, it will travel at a serene, contemplative, almost monastic pace. It will arrive when it arrives. If you require instant gratification, I suggest buying a digital file; if you want a physical piece of 1965 pop-culture history, your patience will be rewarded.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Grumpy Apothecary","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55882572169289,"sku":null,"price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/grumpycomics.com\/products\/daredevil-8-june-1965","provider":"The Grumpy Apothecary","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
