    Strong Opener


    This is a deep book when you consider a lot of the other silver age debuts. The origin focuses enough on Matts father, to truly explain his motivations later in life.  Bill Everett draws a good book.  It is the story that is the stand out, giving us a detailed account of Matts growth as a physical powerhouse as well as letting us see the developing friendship between Foggy and Matt. 
      Over all it is a strong first issue, and promises good things to com.

      The second largest words to appear on the cover of Daredevil #1 is 'Spider-Man', and it even features a facsimile of the cover of The Amazing Spider-Man #1 on the splash page.There's a reason Daredevil is often compared to Spider-Man - of all the original Marvel heroes, these two probably have the most in common. Both were teenagers who studied while other kids played sports, both got their powers from radiation accidents, both felt a sense of duty to a slain father figure, both were acrobatic ...
