*Marvel: “Can you guess why Daredevil is different from all other crimefighters?”, enquired the cover of DD’s debut issue. Well, judging by his first garish costume, one might well have thought it designed by someone sightless – but that sartorial garishness didn’t detract from the energy of DD’s origin, as related by Stan Lee and Bill Everett. Sadly, personal conflicts caused artist Everett to withdraw after the first issue, and the title was visually rudderless until Wally Wood took over with issue #5, bringing a slick, cosmopolitan look to Daredevil’s Manhattan-based adventures which perfectly matched the spirit of the era. He also, mercifully, redesigned DD’s outfit into the ‘red devil’ onesie we all know and love. The first ten of DD’s run are new in, all cents copies, in mid to high grades; issue #1 (VG- £575) has slight chipping at the cover top right edge, and issue #3 has unfortunately been signed by a previous owner right above the Owl’s throne, but these minor drawbacks preclude a still higher grade for generally very attractive copies. Highlights include the first appearances of the Owl (#3), Killgrave the Purple Man (#4), the Matador (#5), Mr. Fear (#6) and the Stilt-Man (#8), plus the classic issue #7, which not only features an epic clash with the Sub-Mariner, but also the debut of DD’s red outfit.
