A 15% BUYER'S PREMIUM WILL BE ADDED TO THIS ITEM AT CONCLUSION OF THE AUCTION ow/white pages
1st appearance of Daredevil (Matt Murdock) w/ origin; 1st app of Karen Page, Foggy Nelson; Jack Kirby/Bill Everett cover; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 10 (CBI)
Daredevil #1 features the first appearance of
Daredevil (of course), but also has the first appearances of Foggy Nelson and Karen Page —who'd go on to become two of Marvel's favorite supporting characters. It all began with Stan Lee reviving an old comic character name (last used by Golden Age creator Charles Biro) and added the enticing gimmick of making their crime-fighting Daredevil the alter-ego of a blind lawyer. This inspired idea provided the new
Daredevil with modern intrigue, a great hook, and a creation that would inspire generations of comic collectors.
This issue's dynamic Jack Kirby cover (and ravishing Bill Everett interiors) first established Daredevil as a unique and mature alternative to Marvel's cosmic adventuring and teenage angst. The character would only become more popular with Frank Miller's legendary revamping of the book in the 1980s. That prestigious run would set up DD for a big-screen film and a hit Netflix show, including the 2025 Disney+ series
Daredevil: Born Again.
