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 issues #16 and 175, you get a two-part Stan Lee story as DAREDEVIL teams up with the Web Slinger --- courtesy of JOHN ROMITA'S VERY FIRST WORK ON SPIDER-MAN!! It also offers up the very first appearance of The Masked Marauder!

In "Enter . . SPIDER-MAN!"/ "None Are So Blind",

the Masked Marauder comes up with a plan to pit SPIDER-MAN and DAREDEVIL against each other while he makes off with an experimental engine. During a break in the fisticuffs,

SPIDER-MAN, thinking he has discovered DAREDEVIL's secret identity, accuses Foggy of being DAREDEVIL. Foggy kind of plays along to impress Karen. DAREDEVIL and SPIDER-MAN then stop fighting long enough to take down the Masked Marauder.

These are two solid copies of DAREDEVIL #16 and #17 with strong bindings and minimal toning of their 57-year old pages! There is a general worn feel to them, faint date stamps on the two covers, and a handwritten word on both splash pages. The centerfold of #16 is loose. But they still have good eye-appeal and good color and that leads us to grading them an aggregate 4.5 VG+. The Overstreet Guide feels $124 is appropriate for the pair -- we feel $98 plus FREE shipping is even MORE appropriate, and gives you these two key issues for the best value on HipComic!
