*Marvel: Wally Wood took over the artistic reins on Daredevil with #5, bringing his style, dynamism, superb sense of layout and all-round excellence to the title. Two very different villains made their debuts: the Matador in #5 and Mr. Fear (with recycled side-kicks the Ox and the Eel) in #6, the last outings for DD in his original yellow and black costume. Two beautiful copies from the Bute Collection. 
PICTURED: DAREDEVIL BOTH SOLD
#5 VF p £275 1st Matador. An outstanding pence-stamped copy, tight, flat and glossy. Cover colours really pop – among the most outstanding I’ve ever seen on a Marvel comic. Staples are firm throughout and lovely supple pages are white to off-white. Very minor corner blunting at top spine and also very minor wear lower spine and top edge. Amazing for 60+ years old!
#6 FN/VF p £135 1st Mr Fear. A really nice pence-stamped copy, tight, flat and reflective. Strong cover colours, firm staples and supple off-white pages. Minor corner blunting at top of spine. The inside covers are a little foxed, which is the only real blemish on this superior copy.
