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.

A vibrancy not often seen on this cover makes this copy an exemplary example of a true Silver Age classic, Daredevil’s original color scheme has never been brighter as the yellows and reds are striking. This comic is a perennial favorite, with rumors confirmed that Charlie Cox will be reprising his role as Daredevil in the upcoming “Secret Wars” series, this issue is potentially looking at another radical price hike.
Overstreet Guide 2020 NM- (9.2) value = $12,500.
