DESCRIPTION
A 15% BUYER'S PREMIUM WILL BE ADDED TO THIS ITEM AT CONCLUSION OF THE AUCTION
ow pgs, QES Certified: Criteria met: impressive prime focal area + glossy + deep color strike (yellow, green & red)
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, with Stan Lee deciding to revive an old comic character name (last used by Golden Age creator Charles Biro) before adding the enticing gimmick of making their crime-fighting Daredevil the alter-ego of a blind lawyer—providing 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 the character 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.

Daredevil #1 has been consistently trending upwards in value and significance, slowly but surely becoming one of the biggest of Marvel’s Silver Age debuts, nudging his way into the pack with the likes of Spider-Man and The Hulk. With the news of Charlie Cox being the first Netflix Marvel actor to make the transition to the MCU, interest in Daredevil #1 has never been higher. The stamp of approval from QES should serve as a clarion call that this 9.4 copy is in exemplary condition, boasting a glossy coat and vibrant colors, while remaining in impeccable shape throughout the years, there are only a handful of copies grading higher up the census. The last copy at grade sold for $67,850, and we fully expect this amazing book to set a new record in our current Event Auction.

Overstreet Guide 2021 NM- (9.2) value = $25,000.
