DAREDEVIL No. 1 Publisher: Marvel [Indicia: Olympia Publications, Inc.] Date Published: April 1964 Description: CGC certified: Fine- (5.5). Off-white pages. Cover: Jack Kirby and Bill Everett. Words: Stan Lee. Art: Bill Everett (with assists by Steve Ditko and Sol Brodsky). Origin and 1st appearance: Daredevil. Spider-Man & Fantastic Four cover appearances. GPAnalysis: A 5.5 sold for $4800 in 4/23. Daredevil's debut marks the last great character launch of Marvel's foundational creative explosion (1961-1964), and one of the most significant character introductions of the Silver Age. Bill Everett's artwork, with Kirby input and Ditko assistance, is intriguingly out-of-step with the other Marvel mags of the day, harkening to the gloomy atmospherics of Everett's Atlas-era horror and crime stories. Even the cut-and-paste cover design evokes the try-anything, beat-the-deadline aesthetics of the pre-Code years. Several key elements of the character's mythos are introduced here (grim urban setting, film noir-influenced visuals, emphasis on street-level crimefighting), only to be largely forgotten until Frank Miller revitalized the book starting with ish #158. A limited edition of ten hardcover catalogues is available, in addition to a few dozen softcovers. Fun reference, great keepsake, fully illustrated, chockablock with obscure facts, gags, bon mots. Softcovers are $40, deluxe hardcovers with dust jackets and limitation plates are $200. These books always go fast so don't delay. To order, contact ivan@pbagalleries.com. Consignments welcome for PBA's Fall 2023 Comic Book sale. Top prices for Pre-Code Horror, Golden Age, Silver Age, original art and ephemera. Find out why PBA is the new fan-fave of funnybook fiends.
