origin & 1st app of Daredevil (Matt Murdock); 1st app of Karen Page, Foggy Nelson; Jack Kirby/Bill Everett cover; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 10 (CBI)Marvel was booming as the House of Ideas back in 1964. In the midst of it all, Stan Lee revived 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. (This issue also boasts the first appearances of Karen Page and Foggy Nelson). 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 — now leading to more buzz over the upcoming Disney+ series "Daredevil: Born Again," based on a classic Miller storyline featuring Karen Page.

Sporting his original black, yellow, and red look (which would only survive until issue #7), Daredevil appears on this cover in full-action mode, bounding towards the reader while making a gun-toting baddie duck for safety; the addition of Spidey and the Fantastic Four to the mix only serve to increase the excitement generated by this book. This handsome 7.0 example of a Silver Age key is enough to make mouths water across the comic collecting spectrum as numbers for this comic have recently seen a serious spike.
Overstreet Guide 2020 F/VF (7.0) value = $3,210.
