*Marvel: Three key issues of Daredevil from the Bute Collection this week. 
PICTURED: DAREDEVIL 
#131 VF p £160 1st Bullseye. Pence printed. In the Frank Miller era of Daredevil, Bullseye, the unfailing assassin, became firmly established as DD’s bête noire, causing the Man Without Fear endless grief and misery. But a lot of people, even today, aren’t aware that Bullseye wasn’t a Miller creation; step forward Marv Wolfman and Bob Brown, who presented The Assassin Who Never Misses for the first time in Daredevil #131, two years before the Miller regime kicked in! The Bute copy is clean, flat and glossy, with only a very shallow non-colour breaking crease of about 2.5 cm horizontal from central spine preventing an even higher grade. SOLD
#158 VF p £80 1st Frank Miller art. Pence printed. Frank Miller took over the art on Daredevil this issue, before scripting in months to come, thus starting arguably the greatest run ever for the sightless swashbuckler. Featuring the Black Widow, Death-Stalker and the Unholy Three. A lovely glossy and clean copy with just some stress marks at the spine which only minutely break colour. 
#168 VF+ p £120 1st Elektra. Pence printed. For a visually-impaired gentleman, Matt Murdock saw, as our American cousins would put it, a lot of action with the ladies; for a while in the 1980s and 1990s, every second plotline involved a Woman From His Past, with attendant complications. But by far the most memorable of these was Elektra, the tormented assassin whose conflicted relationship with our hero struck so deep a chord with readers that even after she died, she was brought back (twice) by popular demand. Written and drawn by the acclaimed and controversial Frank Miller, this Bute copy of Elektra’s debut is a high grade example, tight, flat and glossy with only a very tiny amount of handling wear.
