DESCRIPTION
ow/w pgs
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.

Merry Matt Murdock makes a marvelous first appearance here in Daredevil #1. This book earned an 8.0 Universal Grade from CGC, with off-white to white pages. Daredevil’s iconic costume looks amazing here, against the stark background of this VF copy. The right side of the cover features a who's who of the Marvel Age, with Spidey and the FF right above the Daredevil crew of Matt Murdock, Karen Page, and Foggy Nelson. These characters all shine on this beautifully preserved copy boasting a classic Kirby/Everett cover. With Daredevil being the cornerstone of Marvel’s Netflix universe, and rumored to appear in the upcoming “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” ol’ Hornhead is more popular than ever. Collectors and speculators have been flocking to this book more and more every year, and this copy is not to be overlooked.
