Label #0604995039

Written by MATT CHERNISS & PETER JOHNSON Penciled by MICHAEL GAYDOS Cover by TONY HARRIS Peter Parker, Matt Murdock & Logan were fated to be heroes. If Peter Parker wasn't bitten by a radioactive spider would he still do battle with a madman named Norman Osborn? Matt Murdock, though blinded, had no heightened senses. Nevertheless, he became a legal champion of the poor in Hell's Kitchen, crossing paths with a powerful crime boss named Wilson Fisk -- the Kingpin. Logan ? still an enigmatic, amnesiac drifter ? is on the run from his bloody past, without mutant powers to save him. By re- imagining Marvel's most popular characters without superhuman powers, this series will strip these heroes to their core, exploring what it means to be a hero in very human terms. 32 PGS./MARVEL PSR...$2.99 UPC: 5960605580-00211 Cover price $2.99.
