American Comics Update: The Bute Collection: Mighty Marvel Firsts: Daredevil #1 1964
*Marvel: From the Bute Collection, it’s always a special moment here at 30th Century when we unveil the first appearance of a major Marvel character. After the successes of the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man, Stan Lee enlisted his old colleague, Bill Everett, to co-create this acrobatic avenger of the streets. Sporting a yellow and red costume intended to evoke the jester-style livery of the 1940s Daredevil, young Matt Murdock lost his sight but gained phenomenal sensory powers to compensate, using them and his athletic skills to avenge the murder of his father… and the rest was history. This is an attractive mid-grade copy of this major key issue, pence printed. The cover is clean and virtually unmarked with strong colour. Minor edge wear and corner blunting, with a tiny upper spine split and nick of less than 1 cm. There is also minor handling wear on the cover, but nothing significant. Staples are tight and firm and supple pages are white to off-white. High resolution images are available on request.
