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 #15, you get "- And Men Shall Call Him . . OX!", written by Stan Lee and illustrated by John Romita (with inks by Frank Giacoia).

At the state prison, huge and menacing OX is convinced by his cellmate, Dr. Karl Stragg, that if the two can escape, the good doctor will make OX smarter. Stragg double-crosses the Ox and switches bodies with the brute. When DAREDEVIL tracks down the new and improved OX , and is bested by Stragg's superior stratagems.

After an incriminating identity confusion, DAREDEVIL is able to get the better of 'Stragg', restore OX to his former self, and send him back to prison!

This is only John Romita Sr.'s second penciling assignment at Marvel and it turned out beautifully!

This is a well-preserved copy of DAREDEVIL #15 with a strong binding and minimal toning of its 56-year old pages! There is a general worn feel to this copy, and there is a faint date stamp on OX's chest, but still has good eye-appeal and good color and that leads us to grading this a 5.0 VG/FN. The Overstreet Guide feels $28 is appropriate -- we feel $18 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!
