*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. A lower graded issue by comparison with most of the square Mile Collection, this VG pence stamped copy of Daredevil #7 has some colour-breaking creasing above the logo and a (non-severe) vertical crease, as well as some spine and edge wear. Nevertheless, it is solid with tight staples and white pages and an unspoilt cover image.
