Stan Lee (W) / Wally Wood, Gene Colan and John Romita Sr. (P). Long before his days as the urban protector of gritty Hell's Kitchen, Daredevil was known as the Man Without Fear! A childhood accident robbed Matt Murdock of his sight - but in exchange, blessed him with an extraordinary radar sense. Donning a colorful costume, Matt used this powerful gift to fight an ingenious array of super-villains that puts even Spider-Man's rogues' gallery to shame. -- Essential Daredevil Vol 1 begins as we collect Daredevil (vol 1) #1 - 25 in one huge, bargain-priced volume! 544 pgs, black and white, all ages.
