*Marvel: 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 a low grade copy of Daredevil’s first appearance. The cover suffers from a small scuff mark at the bottom edge centre and a fairly faint narrow dust shadow along the right edge. The rest of the cover, pence printed, is relatively unmarked with good colour. Minor creasing only, just one or two marks breaking colour faintly, with a tiny nick centre right edge. The spine is weak, although well attached at staples (as is centrefold). Small splits of less than 1 cm each at top and bottom. There are a few holes in the spine, mostly between staples, all very small except one central which is about 1 cm long vertically. Pages are clean, a decent off-white to cream. The inside covers are a little browned at the edges, but not brittle. High resolution images are available on request.
