1st appearance of Daredevil (Matt Murdock) w/ origin; 1st app of Karen Page, Foggy Nelson; Jack Kirby/Bill Everett cover; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 10 (CBI)


Daredevil #1 features the first appearance of Daredevil (of course), but also has the first appearances of Foggy Nelson and Karen Page —who'd go on to become two of Marvel's favorite supporting characters. It all began with Stan Lee reviving an old comic character name (last used by Golden Age creator Charles Biro) and added the enticing gimmick of making their crime-fighting Daredevil the alter-ego of a blind lawyer. This inspired idea provided the new Daredevil with modern intrigue, a great hook, and a creation that would inspire generations of comic collectors.

This issue's dynamic Jack Kirby cover (and ravishing Bill Everett interiors) first established Daredevil as a unique and mature alternative to Marvel's cosmic adventuring and teenage angst. The character would only become more popular with Frank Miller's legendary revamping of the book in the 1980s. That prestigious run would set up DD for a big-screen film and a hit Netflix show — now leading to more buzz over the upcoming Disney+ series Daredevil: Born Again.

With Daredevil: Born Again set for a release in March of 2025, interest in the character is once again seeing a huge increase amongst investment collectors. Daredevil’s first appearance has been one of the pillars of Silver Age key collections for many years now, but each time a new Daredevil project is announced, you can rest assured the value of this origin issue will set new records at auction. This 8.0 copy retains its vibrant yellow, red, and green hues all these years later, and the overall structural integrity of the book is apparent. For those on the hunt for the first appearance of one of Marvel’s most iconic properties, this is a wonderful opportunity to pick up an important key with plenty of upside potential.
