Customer Reviews

Daredevil's Year One
This is a great telling of Daredevil's first appearance and his frst real test as a superhero. It's very much like a Daredevil: Year One tale however the villans and powers are not the issue in this story.
Instead, this story is a tragic (when you consider the later events of DD) love story. It show's Matt Murdock's first meeting with Karen Page and the love triangle they become involved with. Two of the people in this triangle are in fact the same person!!
If you can forgive some of the contradictions this makes to the Man Without Fear story, you will find it a great read! If you're a DD fan, then you must own!

Daredevil ; Yellow
Well I've just got round to reading it and thoroughly enjoyed it . DD has probably been , over the years , my favourite solo Marvel character . From his launch , through the glorious Colan years , and then the revitalisation under McKenzie , Miller and laterly Smith and Bendis.

I think Frank Miller did the definitive origin of his version in the Man Without Fear book but for us old-timers this is the origin of the character we were first introduced to by Stan , Bill and Wally which would later lead us to the swashbuckling Romita and Colan version.

Going back and expanding on Stan's origin , and the artwork too , especially , turned back the clock to those days I'd cycle round looking for tha latest issues in the local newsagents.

I don't think there's too many heroes out there who have had two such great books written in recent years re-telling their origin as DD.

Glorious re-telling of the early years of Daredevil
Daredevil: Yellow is a classic. It is a perfect re-telling of those early sparks of romance between Matt Murdoch and Karen Page. Artwork by Tim Sale is superb throughout.

Features Electro, Owl, Killgrave, Fantastic Four as well.

If only all re-tellings of origins were as good as this.
