What’s Old: Daredevil #7 FN/VF
For this week’s What’s Old spotlight, we turn our attention to a lovely old Marvel comic: Daredevil #7, which is a milestone issue for a variety of reasons: It’s the first appearance of DD’s red costume (which became his regular outfit after the yellow and black duds of issues #1-6; the art is by the wonderful Wally Wood, one of only a handful of DD issues drawn by this fan favourite artist (and a bonus pin-up of DD & Sub-Mariner is included); and the story features a classic encounter between Namor & DD from the days when such things were truly special. This dark background cover issue is notoriously difficult to find in high grade, but our FN/VF cents copy is unmarked with great cover gloss, firmly attached at staples, tight, flat and with excellent page quality; would grade higher but for a 1″ crease across the top right corner, very minor spine wear and a faint stacking ink defect which can (just) be seen across parts of the logo. Nevertheless, an uncommon beauty at £275.
