Item Description

DAREDEVIL was created by Stan Lee and Bill Everett, and first appeared in DAREDEVIL #1 (1964). The son of boxer 'Battlin' Jack' Murdock, Matt Murdock grew up in the relative poverty of Hell's Kitchen with much reverence for his father, who constantly pressed him to study instead of playing with his friends. In turn, they taunted him with the facetious nickname DAREDEVIL since he always went back to studying and secretly training in his father's gym instead of doing things with them.

Matt was blinded by toxic chemicals, but learned to hone his physical skills and other senses to the point where he was a fearsome force for good in his neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen, even after opening a law firm there.

Here in issue #12, you get "Sightless, In A Savage Land!", wherein Matt decides to take a cruise to get his mind off of Karen. After his cruise ship is boarded by pirates, DD is taken to the Savage Land by the Plunderer. KA-ZAR ttacks the Plunderer for trespassing on his domain and saves DAREDEVIL's life as his costume reminds the savage lord of his encounter with the X-MEN. (this 'new' KA-ZAR first appeared in Marvel's X-MEN #10)

Story scripted by Stan Lee, who introduces John Romita as Marvel's newest illustrator! Jack Kirby layed out most of this issue, but the finishes are some of Romita's most beautiful early inking displays.

This is a well-preserved copy of DAREDEVIL #10 with a strong binding and minimal toning of its 56-year old pages! The front cover has a small split the right edge, and a hard-to-spot datestamp on Ka-Zar's chest! There is a bit of handwriting on the title page, and the letters page is detached but present. It still has good eye-appeal and good color and that leads us to grading this a 5.5 FN-. The Overstreet Guide feels $30 is appropriate -- we feel $25 plus our L•O•W shipping is even MORE appropriate!

••• And remember - there is no further postage charge if you buy additional items, so load up on some of our other Silver Age Marvels, if that's your thing!
