Jon Berk CollectionFor a fan of the Man Without Fear, what could be cooler than an original art page from the first issue of his very first appearance, including his well-known origin story. This is an awesome example of comicbook history, and you can be the next owner of this incredible investment piece. The panels on this page skillfully detail the events leading up to the untimely death of "Battling" Jack Murdock, shown here discussing his "boxing" career with the Fixer, while his son, Matt, simultaneously showcases his powers for the reader's benefit. The strong storytelling skills of Bill Everett are on full display here, his twenty-plus years in the industry culminating in the assured pencil-work that ties this incredible page together, while the obvious ink work of Steve Ditko adds a dash of panache to this historical treasure. This is one of the best pieces of Silver Age art from the Jon Berk Collection and we are sure it will see intense competition in this auction.

Artist Information
Bill Everett was an American comic book writer-artist best known for creating Namor the Sub-Mariner, as well as co-creating Daredevil with writer Stan Lee for Marvel Comics. Everett fell into comics almost by accident in the industry's earliest days, creating the character Amazing-Man for Centaur Publications in 1939. That same year saw Everett contributing the first Sub-Mariner story for Marvel Mystery Comics #1, the very first book from Timely Comics (which would eventually become Marvel Comics). Sub-Mariner would prove to be one of Timely's earliest hits, and Everett would continue drawing Namor's adventures until 1949. In the '50s, Everett would continue working for what was now Atlas Comics on numerous titles, occasionally reviving Sub-Mariner. With the explosion of the Marvel Age in the '60s, Everett joined Stan Lee in co-creating and drawing the first issue of Daredevil. He also found regular work contributing to Tales to Astonish and Strange Tales. The Sub-Mariner would return again in Tales to Astonish #85, continuing there (and then in his own title) with sporadic contributions from Everett. Bill Everett died suddenly at the age of 55 in 1973.
