I like pages, such as this one, on which there are recaps from classic stories, particularly when they appear in a different title than the one in which the original story appeared. Here, Daredevil is taking on the Fantastic Four’s nemesis, Dr. Doom, and the story recap is  about how Doom stole and then lost the Silver Surfer’s powers in the classic FF 57-60 (Dec 1966 – Mar 1967).

 “Don’t Look Now, But It’s Dr. Doom!”

Daredevil fends off the Dr. Doom, who plans to use Daredevil as his catalyst for revenge against the Fantastic Four. Daredevil is captured, and while trying to get to freedom, Doom gloats over how he manage to cheat death during his last encounter with the FF, in which he had stolen the power of the Silver Surfer and attempted to pierce the barrier around Earth put in place by Galactus to keep the Surfer on the planet.
