*Marvel: Leading off the selections from the Good Doctor Collection this week are all seven issues of Daredevil drawn by Wally Wood, surely one of the all-time great comic artists. Wally didn’t hang around on Daredevil for too long, but it was his time on the title that truly defined the character, co-creating many of DD’s most famous foes (and the Matador!), as well as designing the red costume by which DD would become known ever since in the epic classic that pitted DD up against the Sub-Mariner. This selection completes all the releases of issues of Daredevil from the Good Doctor Collection.
