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.

Since the surprise cameo of Charlie Cox reprising his role as Daredevil in “Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” this comic has seen a huge uptick in interest. Many of Marvel’s Silver Age keys have shown amazing growth in the past few years, so it is a great time to invest in this classic issue. This copy is an incredible example of an NM+ comic, with no visible signs of the passage of time, this nearly pristine book is sure to be a hotly contested lot at auction. With the continued success and anticipation for future MCU installments, it is no longer a secret that Daredevil will soon be appearing on Disney+ as a character in Marvel’s upcoming “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” series, which will serve to drive the value of this book further into the stratosphere.
