Daredevil (1964 series) #204

Crowds gather as Chief Micah of the Kinjorge Tribe and his wife head to board the subway for the first time. Foggy offers some words to the press as Micah’s attorney about his history descended from English explorers in East Africa. Foggy’s wife Debbie points out they’re already down in the subway station, where Daredevil watches over Micah from the rafters. Just then, Daredevil senses someone about to fire a weapon at Micah and he knocks Micah out of the way. In doing so, Micah’s wife falls onto the tracks just as a train is coming, forcing Daredevil to let the assassin go to rescue her. Later, the assassin, named Crossbow, meets with his employer Barrington Synn. Turns out, Micah is descended from the same family as Synn, and he wants Micah dead before anyone can learn of this fact!

Daredevil continues to tail Micah as he rides the subway. Micah’s wife starts to feel ill which only causes Micah to laugh, which Foggy chalks up to a difference of customs. Later, Debbie makes some calls to get Micah invited to a large party she’s throwing, thinking his presence would make her soiree unforgettable. Matt arrives soon after and expresses his concerns about Micah. He suggests that they let Micah go as a client unless they can figure out who’s trying to kill him. Foggy makes the suggestion that it could have something to do with Micah’s family, since killers usually have a reason to want their target dead. They contact Professor Piper who figures out Micah is descended from the Synn family. While Foggy and Debbie get ready for the party, Matt heads as Daredevil to discover what he can about Barrington Synn.

He heads to Synn’s hotel room and overhears him talking with Crossbow about killing Micah at the party, which Daredevil confirms after interrogating Synn. At the party, Debbie greets the newest guest, a rather disheveled Tony Stark. Micah arrives not long after and starts making a mess, gorging himself on the food and spitting out the wine. Debbie decides to show him around and leads him to the master suite where Micah ends up kissing Debbie and she doesn’t reject him. Meanwhile, Daredevil intercepts Crossbow on the balcony outside and stops him from killing Micah. Micah gets involved too and grabs Daredevil when he’s distracted by a drunken Tony Stark wandering outside to try and help. Daredevil overcomes Micah and takes out Crossbow, telling Micah that he’d better stay out of trouble or he won’t be so nice next time. Foggy wanders outside and sees all the commotion when Debbie mentions she’s phoned the police. Foggy notices Debbie crying, and she claims not to know why, while she and Micah share a look…
