Review/plot:
Ok, Marshall Rogers. That's a reason for a Marvel Comics Presents story to exist. But i don't feel too good about a first page that needs an arrow to show me the intended flow of the story. Not that the arrow is really necessary anyway, since the Matt Murdock panel can be happening concurrently with the rest of it.

This is a "mob enforcers try to push tenants out of their lease" story, with the added element of the old lady saying that she's a witch, so she thinks that Daredevil is a demon that she's summoned.

Daredevil fights off the mob goons, and the granddaughter realizes that Daredevil is a man, not a demon, and that her grandma doesn't really have magic. So she contacts Matt Murdock for help with their lease problem.

Quality Rating: C

Historical Significance Rating: 1

Chronological Placement Considerations: A footnote helpfully says, "This story occurred before current issues of Daredevil". That's in reference to the fact that Daredevil is said to be working for a legal aid group, instead of being a lawyer himself. So that should be after Daredevil #248-249, when Matt gets the office space for his free law clinic, but before the Typhoid Mary story from Daredevil #260-261 that leads into Inferno and ends with Daredevil closing down his clinic.

Man, MCP was really backlogged if "this story occurred before current issues of Daredevil" in a 1991 story is such an understatement it has to take place before Inferno.
