    Ka-Zar not Tarzan

    After a decent tale in the last two issues, we return to a childish one where all the characters are their own best P.R. agents. Tons of silver age silliness, including the old chest nut that has 2 heroes fighting each other before they decide to talk with each other.  In this case Ka-Zar and Daredevils first meeting is a panel showing DD hitting Ka-Zar at the same time he is telling him he does not want to hurt him. 
      It isn't all bad, we get some Jack Kirby layouts, i always have said that was Kirbys strong point. We also get the first John Romita art. It does serve Daredevil well. You can see why he became a legend in our little hobby.  I can't recommend this book like I did the last 2, it just fell too far back into what was bad in the first issues.  I can't completely fail it either.

      Matt Murdock may be good at knocking villains over like skittles but, almost straight away, we find him totally hopeless at guessing a lady's true feelings.  On the second page of the story he pines once again after Karen Page - "Yet the emotion I mistook for love was merely pity... pity for a man without sight."  Pass the tissues, folks.  Matt is on his Foreign Legion kick here - he has to get as far away from his love as possible... to forget!After a run of good issues, sorry to report that th...
