Amazing Spider-Man #16 "DUEL WITH DAREDEVIL" (September, 1964)


Synopsis

Spider-Man saves a blind man from some hoodlums little realizing that the seemingly ordinary Matt Murdock is really Daredevil! Later, Peter sees a sign advertising a circus featuring Spider-Man! He doesn't know that the circus is really a front for criminal deeds and decides to show up as Spider-Man. (It is unclear why he buys a ticket, considering he's not actually going to be attending as a patron...)
At the circus itself, the Ringmaster hypnotizes the entire crowd including Spider-Man in order to rob them blind. Daredevil, naturally is unaffected by this trick (he's also at the circus) and tries to interfere, so the Ringmaster sets Spidey on DD. They fight, DD manages to break the trance and all is well.

Notes
  • Spidey meets Daredevil for the first time
