Daredevil and Cancer

In case you haven’t noticed, I’m a huge Daredevil fan. The current run by Mark Waid is telling some of the best “Man Without Fear” stories we’ve seen in awhile.

(Spoiler Alert)

But, I want to focus just on one aspect of issue 26 and it doesn’t have to do with Daredevil. At least, not directly.

In the current story line, Foggy Nelson, Matt Murdock’s best friend and law partner,  is battling cancer. At the end of issue 26, Foggy hangs out with a bunch of kids, who have the same type of cancer,  as they wait for Iron Man. He learns how comic books help these kids deal with their terrible illness even as some of them might be throwing up “every twenty minutes”.

It’s a beautiful little story. You should check out.

Daredevil 26 is out in comic book stores everywhere.
