Daredevil #53: ...In the Beginning! #53

About this issue

Go back to where it all began in Daredevil #53, a classic Marvel Comics issue from June 1969. Perched on a snow-dusted rooftop in the dead of night, the Man Without Fear wrestles with a troubling dilemma: how can Matt Murdock keep his secret identity safe while facing the villain he once put away? This rhapsodic re-telling of the hero's origin, credited to Stan Lee and Gene Colan with new dialogue by Roy Thomas and inks by George Klein, takes you back half a decade to a dingy room above Fogwell's Gym. There, a poker game is interrupted by a strange, costumed newcomer in a yellow and red suit who has come looking for trouble, and the fists start flying. Gene Colan's moody, cinematic artwork, with dramatic shadows, dynamic action and a striking cover showing Daredevil with the scales of justice, makes this a must-have for fans of Silver Age Marvel. Whether you are a longtime Daredevil reader, a collector of Bronze Age-era classics or new to Hell's Kitchen's blind lawyer-turned-vigilante, this issue is a great way to see how the legend took shape.
