American Comics Update: Daredevil #7 – 1st Red Costume and the Sub-Mariner
*Marvel: After a little artistic floundering in his early issues, the Sightless Swashbuckler lucked out when the superlative Wally Wood took over illustrating his adventures. This is probably the finest Wood issue, marked not only by the premiere of the red Daredevil costume, (replacing his original outfit, which actually looked like it was designed by a blind man…) but also by a genuinely gripping battle in which Daredevil, overpowered by the vastly superior might of the Sub-Mariner, shows such courage and determination that even Namor’s scaly heart is moved to compassion. This lower-graded copy has much creasing at the corners and edges, all breaking colour, and one or two which intrude on to the cover, but do not spoil the main image. The spine is solid and the staples firm, except that the lower staple is detached at the centrefold. Pages are a supple off-white. MMMS Wants You box featured on cover.
