Item Description

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.

In "Lady Killer", here in issue #173 from 1981, Frank Miller, in the roles of both scripter and penciller (and aided by inker Klaus Janson) tells of a 'lady killer' who is roaming the streets - and he looks exactly like Melvin Potter - better known to the world as the GLADIATOR! DAREDEVIL is able to track down the man responsible for crippling BECKY, and clears the GLADIATOR.

Frank Miller's artwork is stylish and evocative, with innovative page layouts . . easily indicative of why he became the most popular DAREDEVIL artist of this era!

This is a great copy of the early 1980s DAREDEVIL, with a strong binding, supple pages and good color on its 45-year old pages! There are no tears, creases or pieces missing, just some normal toning . . and that leads us to grading this an 8.0 VF.

The Overstreet Price Guide feels $18 is appropriate for this issue at this grade -- but we feel $11 plus our L•O•W shipping is even MORE appropriate!
