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," based on a classic Miller storyline featuring Karen Page.
Following the rousing receptions of Spider-Man, The Fantastic Four, and The Avengers, Daredevil #1 saw Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Bill Everett come together to introduce another superhero sensation, The Man Without Fear! Is none other than blind lawyer Matt Murdock by day, and vigilante crime-fighter by night. Recurring supporting characters Foggy Nelson and Karen Page also appear here for the first time. This Daredevil #1 earned a 9.0 CGC Universal Grade and has off-white to white pages. With multiple seasons of a hit Netflix show, and an appearance in the recent “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” Daredevil is one of many characters who has become an international sensation thanks to the success of Marvel’s live-action blockbusters! Collectors and investors alike have been drawn to Daredevil #1 for years.
