Full Splash: Close shot of Matt Murdock's face, passive, as he sits with Foggy in a courtroom. We see Tiger Lawyer presenting his case in the reflection of Matt's glasses, as well as a sinister, smirking Wilson Fisk. Foggy is worried.
CAPTION(DD): AFTER THAT ALTERCATION WITH BULLSEYE AT THE DOCKS*, I WAS SURE WE HAD FISK ON THE RUN.
CAPTION(DD): BUT WE WEREN'T PREPARED FOR THIS. WE WEREN'T PREPARED FOR HIM.
CAPTION(DD): WHEN WILSON FISK IS IN A CORNER, HE KNOWS, AND HE KNOWS WE KNOW, THAT HE CAN ALWAYS FIND A BIGGER FISH FOR THE TANK.
CAPTION(DD): BUT THIS--THIS IS SOMETHING ELSE.
CAPTION(DD): THIS IS MORE THAN A FISH, THIS CAT'S ABOUT TO EAT US ALIVE EVEN IF HE HAS TO DROWN TO DO IT. HE'S RELENTLESS, RHETORICALLY SKILLED, AND READY FOR ANYTHING.
CAPTION:* SEE LAST ISSUE
Inset Panel: Matt is smirking, slightly.
CAPTION(DD): HE'S BIG GAME, ALL RIGHT. AND THE GAME IS AFOOT.

Foggy Nelson - Double Trouble - R.A. Wonsowski
SPLASH PAGE: Done in the Silver Age style.
Setting/Background: New York City Family Court courtroom. It is completely wrecked: the judge's bench is shattered, the lawyers' tables are overturned, the witness stand is charred. The judge is hiding behind her bench, gavel shaking in her hand. MATT MURDOCK is wounded and unconscious, head resting on the lap of the court stenographer. The bailiffs are out cold on the floor. Also lying unconscious on the floor are Iron Fist, the Punisher, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Mockingbird, Misty Knight, and Machine Man.
Foreground: the headgear of numerous A.I.M. agents; they are brandishing science-fiction-y weapons in their hands.
Midground: Facing the A.I.M. agents, standing in classic boxing stances, are FOGGY NELSON and J. JONAH JAMESON. Their ties are unblocked, and their suits are a little dishevelled. Foggy has his leather attache case in one hand, as if ready to clock somebody with it. Between them, hiding between their legs, is a little girl, about 5 years old, with a stuffed Black Panther toy. The belly of the toy is surrounded by SFX reading "tk - tk - tk - tk".
COPY:
It was a custody case like no other!
The father - the Kingpin's Accountant!!
The mother - the Mistress of M.O.D.O.K.!!!
The child - unaware that she possesses a secret weapon that could destroy all New York!!!!
The only things standing between this cherubic little girl and certain death at the hands of A.I.M. - - -
FOGGY "GUTS" NELSON! Two-Fisted Lawyer-At-Large!
J. JONAH JAMESON! The People's Champion!
It's a tale that could never be told...UNTIL NOW!
"JUSTICE WEARS A 3-PIECE!"
A Wonsowski-Colan-Buscema Joint. 'Nuff Said!

Foggy Nelson, Agent of SHIELD - J.D. Coughlan
SET-UP: Black Widow, Spider-Woman, She-Hulk and Captain America are captured and tied up aboard Red Skull's evil airship! When suddenly, Foggy Nelson, Agent of SHIELD, smashes in and sends the Skull falling to his fate!
Panel 1: Foggy, in a standard SHIELD uniform, and somewhat trimmer than usual, stands in front of the broken window Red Skull fell out of. He is holding two massive guns and wearing awesome sunglasses. Behind him is Cap, She-Hulk, Spider-Woman and Black Widow, all tied to chairs and looking at him in awe.
FOGGY: I rest my case.
Panel 2: The captives are freed. Cap shakes Foggy's hand; Cap is smiling like he met his hero, Foggy is nonchalant. The women are cheering.
CAPTION: Within seconds!
CAPT. AMERICA: God bless you, Foggy Nelson!
SHE-HULK, BLACK WIDOW & SPIDER-WOMAN: WE LOVE YOU, FOGGY!
Panel 3: Nick Fury, panicked, bursts in from the next room (that's right; the next room in Red Skull's airship) clutching a piece of paper.
CAPTION: Suddenly!
NICK FURY: Great Scott, Foggy! This just in!
NICK FURY: Dr. Doom and Ultron have joined forces and have combined the Ultimate Nullifier, the Cosmic Cube and the Infinity Gauntlet into the Infinite Cubifier, and are threatening to blow up every orphanage in the world!
Panel 4: Close on Foggy.
FOGGY: Turn on your highbeams, Fury, 'cause things are about to get...
Panel 5: Same, except Foggy is putting another pair of sunglasses on over his existing pair.
NO DIALOGUE
Panel 6: Very close on Foggy's eyes (as covered by two pairs of sunglasses).
FOGGY: Foggy.

Foggy Nelson – Dorm Days – MK Stangeland Jr.
(Set during the early days of when MATT MURDOCK and FOGGY NELSON were college roommates.)
(5 Panels)
Panel 1: Close up of MATT MURDOCK’s face with his
hands clasped in front of him. The page should be done in the art style of
Daredevil’s ‘echolocation lines’ as seen in the Mark Waid written Daredevil
comics. As far as we can tell by the lines, MATT looks ‘out of it’, as if he’s
half-asleep.
Panel 2: Panel transitions to a regular art style. A
hand – from FOGGY NELSON - is near the side of MATT MURDOCK’s head snapping its
fingers. MATT come at attention as the sound is more effective on him than
FOGGY realizes.
SFX: *Snap!*snap!*
FOGGY NELSON: (Off-Panel)
Matt, you there? Hello?
MATT MURDOCK: Wha…?
Panel 3: Panel shows both MATT MURDOCK and FOGGY
NELSON in a University Library table where they look like they’ve been
attempting to study, in spite of MATT half-dozing off.
FOGGY NELSON: Matt, buddy, you here? You look out of it.
MATT MURDOCK: Yes, sorry.
Panel 4: FOGGY NELSON doesn’t look like he’s entirely
convinced.
FOGGY NELSON (1): You sure?
FOGGY NELSON (2): I can understand if you’re burning the
candles at both ends, Matt. I don’t think there’s anyone here who doesn’t. But
everyone has their limits.
Panel 5: Panel of MATT MURDOCK at the table, but with
a background that shows a different ‘imaginary’ scene of MATT as DAREDEVIL (in
original yellow-themed costume) on a
rooftop during the night.
MATT MURDOCK: Believe me, I know.

Foggy Nelson- Midnight Oil -Dan Hill
Page One (7 Panels)
Panel One
We OPEN inside the offices of Murdock and Nelson. It's well past the witching hour as FOGGY sits behind a desk. Books are strewn about on the desk along with a steaming cup of coffee. A desk lamp burns in the gloom of the office as moonlight streams down from the off panel skylight.
Foggy studies the books in front of him, a concentrated look on his face.
CAPTION: I will lead the blind by ways they have not known...
Panel Two
A shot looking up from the desk towards the skylight. We can see the moon, full in the sky, and DAREDEVIL leaping across the skylight on his way to some nefarious misdeed.
CAPTION: ...along unfamiliar paths I will guide them;
Panel Three
CUT TO a tight shot of Foggy, still at his desk. He looks extremely fed up.
CAPTION: I will turn the darkness into light before them...
Panel Four
CUT TO a WIDE PANEL of Daredevil somewhere else in town. He's in a sleazy looking back alley bar, all neon and sawdust.
Several of the patrons lie unconscious at his feet having made their acquaintance with his billy club.
Despite this, a few more of the less intelligent customers have begun to encircle DD.
Round Two.
CAPTION: ...and make the rough places smooth.
Panel Five
CUT TO a chair somewhere in the offices of Nelson And Murdock. Daredevil's costume is draped over the chair. It's still night, shadows from the skylight are thrown across the panel in a criss cross manner.
NO COPY
Panel Six
CUT TO Foggy, still at his desk. He looks haggard and rumpled. But he's still studying. His determination shines through.
Behind him, over his shoulder, we can see Matt Murdock smiling. He's putting a reassuring hand on Foggy's shoulder.
CAPTION: These are the things I will do;
Panel Seven
CUT TO a WIDE PANEL of Foggy and Nelson in the same office. It's morning now and both of them look presentable, businesslike even, despite their activities the night before.
A worried looking CLIENT, a portly man in his 50's, sits in a chair opposite the desk. On the desk we can see folders and documents spread out in an organised manner.
Foggy and Matt talk the client calmly through the coming storm. Foggy is still in the chair with Matt standing slightly behind him gesticulating, ever the showman.
CAPTION: I will not forsake them.

Foggy Nelson - Blind Date - Grant McLaughlin
6 panels distributed among three rows. First row has 2 panels. Second row has 3 panels. Third row has 1 panel.
1 - Foggy's apartment. Foggy is adjusting his bowtie in the mirror, looking nervous. Matt stands slightly back and to the side, looking pleased with himself. Have the panel have a slight sheen to it, as this panel is the mirror's reflection.
FOGGY: I don't know about this, Matt.
MATT: Nonsense! You've been off the market too long! It's time to get back out there and see what's on offer!
2 - Same positioning, but reversed. This panel is "real life". Foggy looks towards Matt, curious. Matt continues to smile.
MATT: You'll have a great time, Foggy. I promise you that you'll love this girl.
FOGGY: That's the other thing - how many beautiful lawyers have you been keeping to yourself?
3 - Matt is walking away, moving behind Foggy. Matt looks a bit smugger than before. Foggy is turning around to see Matt as he goes.
MATT: The number would surprise you.
FOGGY: What --
SFX (interrupting): Ding Dong!
4 - Matt perks up a bit in response to the doorbell. He moves towards the next room.
MATT (1): Oh! Here's our lovely lady now!
MATT (2): Coming!
5 - Matt holds the door and points towards the recent arrival (who is still off-panel). Foggy looks pleasantly surprised.
MATT: Franklin P. Nelson, may I introduce you to...
6 - Switch angle to focus on our new guest. It's Jennifer Walters! She's blushing a little bit and waving somewhat awkwardly.
MATT: Jennifer Walters!
JENNIFER (shyly): Hi.

Foggy Nelson – The Rain has Gone – Ben Rosenthal
1. Matt
and Foggy sit out the front of a cafe.
It is a bright, sunny day as the two men finish their light meal,
sunglasses on.
MATT
How are you coping?
2. A
tight shot of Foggy. We can see Matt’s
reflection in Foggy’s sunglasses. Matt looks worried.
FOGGY
There’s a lot to get use to, but I think I’m getting
the hang of it. I mean, if you can do it I shouldn't have a problem, right?
3. A
wider shot than the first panel. Matt is
reaching for a cane which is leaning up against the side of the table, between
the two men.
MATT
I don’t know how you maintain your attitude Foggy, you’re
quite amazing. We should go. Don’t want to be late.
4. A
tight shot of Matt’s hand holding Foggy’s wrist with one hand, and handing him
the cane with the other.
FOGGY
I do have one question though, Matt.
MATT
Yeah?
5. A
full body shot of both men, canes in hand walking down the street. Foggy's free hand is placed on the inside of Matt's free arm. Matt has a smile on his face.
FOGGY
My super powers will be kicking in any moment now,
right?

Foggy Nelson - Gut Feeling - Niel Jacoby
Panel 1: Foggy is going over some legal briefs at his desk, which is cluttered with paperwork and empty cola bottles. You can clearly see that it's dead night outside through a window in his apartment.
NO COPY
Inset Panel: Close on Foggy's face as he turns, surprised, to face his door.
SFX: NOK-NOK-NOK
Panel 2: Foggy stands in front of his open door. scared stiff. We don't see the person on the other side of the doorway.
Kingpin: GUTS NELSON.
Panel 3: Foggy is still in the same scared stiff position. The Kingpin's massive hand is patting him on the shoulder. We still don't see him through the doorway, but we can see that his white suit is scuffed and a little torn.
Kingpin: NOBODY FOOLS ME.
Panel 4: We finally see Kingpin through the door, and he is beat up. He's still standing tall, but his suit is not at its best. We can see Turk behind him and 2 other henchmen.
Kingpin: WELL, NOBODY FOOLS ME AND SURVIVES.
Kingpin: FOR LONG.

Why Foggy Nelson?
Then I found out Thoughtbaloons had already done a Daredevil week.
But seriously, Franklin "Foggy" Nelson, the Nelson in Nelson and Murdock, is usually the more down to earth side of a Daredevil story. Daredevil's fighting Nuke in the middle of Hell's Kitchen? Foggy and Gloriana are trying to survive the destruction. Daredevil's being broken by Typhoid Mary? Foggy's dealing with the moral dilemma of trying to defend a company who's polluting the environment.
So bone up on your legalese, it's Foggy Nelson week!
