American Update: The Good Doctor Collection/Mighty Marvel Firsts: Daredevil #1 1964
*Marvel: It’s been nearly three years since a copy of Daredevil #1 has graced our catalogue, so we’re particularly pleased to unveil the Good Doctor copy of the sightless swashbuckler’s debut this week as the first of the fourth title in this collection to be released. 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 very nice cents copy has great cover colour and gloss, firm tight staples and decent off-white/light tan pages. Edge wear is minor, the worst of it being a 3 cm lower spine split. There is a tiny impact mark between the ‘E’ and ‘D’ of the logo and small graffiti on the faces of Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson in the lower right cover panel, but no other cover markings, with a clean white background. A good-looking copy. High resolution images are available on request.
