Summary: Marvel darkest hero in a book worth more than $5,000
Review: Really! If you'd buy each of the comic books presented here, in a deluxe edition, in fine paper, with wonderful color definitions, and in an elegant hardcover, you'd have to pay more than $5,000.Marvel comics' blind hero's story is told here by master STAN LEE and through its pages you meet The Owl, Electro, Purple Man, etc. A MUST HAVE for DD fans and comic book lovers, and a very entertaining book for starting fans.

Summary: For TRUE Daredevil fans
Review: The first 11 classic issues of Daredevil are printed in one Marvel Masterworks collection. These issues showcase Stan Lee's `Marvel Method' of writing brilliantly as we witness the origin of Daredevil and his subsequent adventures. Of course this book showcase's the artistic genius of Wally Wood as well. Lee and Wood recreate the costume and redefine the character in the classic issue #7, battle with the Sub-Mariner. This book represents the best of Daredevil and also illustrates how badly the character has been treated, both in writing and in art, in recent months of his on-going title. The only sour-note in this collection is the horrendous coloring job, which tries to update the art with a palette that is at times garish and muddy. Don't let that stop you from experiencing the greatness that was Marvel Comics!

Summary: Introducing: Daredevil, the Man Without Fear!
Review: When I decided that I could not spend all my money on comic books the two Marvel comics I continued to collect were Daredevil and Iron Man. Even before Frank Miller upped the ante on the character there was something compelling about Matt Murdock, the blind lawyer who used his heightened senses as the Man Without Fear. It is an oversimplification to call Daredevil Marvel's answer to Batman, although there are strong similarities: neither has super strength, both are guilty over the death of parents and both are pretty smart. But Daredevil had more in touch with the common man, especially in these early days when he and partner Foggy Nelson are trying to make a go of their law practice and Matt has eyes, so to speak, for the lovely Karen Page. This volume contains the first eleven issues of Daredevil with art by Bill Everett and Wally Wood, too of the more stylistic artists working in the Marvel Bullpen way back when. They probably did the odd number of 11 issues in this volume because 10-11 is a two-parter (unfortunately they stopped short of #12 and the first appearance of Ka-Zar). There are appearance by Spider-Man and the Thing in the first two issues for those who are crossover conscious. In these first eleven issues DD takes on Electro (#2), the Owl (#3), the Purple Man (#4), the Fellowship of Fear (#6), the Sub-Mariner (#7), and Stilt Man (#8). In the first six issues DD wears his yellow outfit before putting on the red suit in issue #7. Marvel needs to get on the stick and start issuing the next volumes in this series.

Summary: For TRUE Daredevil fans
Review: Yes, this is the best Definative Daredevil compilation out there. I bought this and I'm cherishing it. It fits well in ANY bookshelf and is a fantastic read every single time. Not only does Marvel overdo their respects to one of their main heros but also they made this into a visually striking masterpiece. The artwork has been redone to capture the fantastic classic-ness of The Man Without Fear!
