    Daredevil

    Character » Daredevil appears in 4765 issues.

    As a child, Matt Murdock was blinded by radioactive waste while trying to save an elderly stranger about to get hit by a truck carrying the dangerous material. In turn, his other senses were heightened to superhuman sharpness and he gained a form of "radar sense". By day, he is a successful trial lawyer; but by night, he guards Hell's Kitchen as Daredevil: the Man Without Fear.

    Daredevil!

    Might as well start with the new Daredevil Reborn mini comming out soon.  As for back issues and trades, try the Born Again trade by Frank Miller, and I suppose for more modern DD, check out the Bendis trades. 
    Your best bet is to just go get a trade, read, enjoy, repeat.

    Daredevil yellow,it tells his origins and continues on to some of his adventures,it's really good to me it comes off almost like a diary,with some great art. If you want a story set in more recent times then I recommend picking up some Bendis trades.

    @ownsin:  I'd start with Frank Miller's Run on the Series that's when all the really great stuff happens because it was before Frank went off the deep end and went all whore crazy it's issues 168 to 191 has alot of great stories DD's 1st fight with the Kingpin the 1st appearance of Elektra and her death at the hands of Bullseye and the first appearance of the Hand also if you can afford them pick up issue 131 -132 that's Bullseyes first appearance  also just cause I'm a huge fan of Mister fear pick up Daredevil Vol. 2 issues 97-105 great arc.

    @ownsin: The ones I mentioned are Copper age stories so they were made in the mid to late 80's and born again I wouldn't recommend for someone just getting into the series once you become an established fan then read it and it will be great aside from that I highly recommend Daredevil Vol. 2 issues 96 to 105 great arc it was made in the 2000's but again those are more for established fans of the series

    @ownsin:  Sorry can't help you there I don't ever buy comics online if I can't inspect it for myself I don't even consider buying it on the chance it could be more damaged than what they say. Just pick up some trades at a comic store or the issues themselves but 168 can be pricey depending on the condition at Near Mint it goes for 150 bucks lowest grade about 15-25 dollars

    The Man Without Fear should be the best place to start to know Murdock well. Elektra and Kingpin appear as well.
