Shanna Showcase 8: Daredevil #117 (Jan. 1975) & Spidey Super Stories #14 (Dec. 1975 )



This time out, I'm the Gun takes a look at a couple of oddball single issues, which is a nice change of pace after Shanna's involvement in the multi-part Black Spectre Saga.

1st up, we get some Widow on She-Devil action in Daredevil #117 (Jan. 1975), as in order to save Daredevil's life, the Black Widow is forced to kidnap Shanna.  This isn't going to go well for someone, and my money's on villain of the issue, The Owl.

Shanna next appears in Spidey Super Stories #14 (Dec. 1975), teaming up with Spider-Man to take down an animal kidnapper in this story aimed at younger readers.

Recorded in the depths of the jungles of the Marvel Universe, this episode of Shanna Showcase takes a look at Daredevil #s 110-112, the wrap up to the Black Spectre saga.  The roots of this story were first lain out in the last couple issues of Shanna the She-Devil's own short-lived series, and the events of these issues have a dramatic impact on Shanna's present & future.
