@tazzmission: I´m sorry but There not that many Marvel audio-comics (only civil war and a spiderman) however DC does do graphic audio comics a lot more

They explain what´s happening and have soundeffects it´s available in MP3 and more just google dc comics graphic audio or on the graphicaudio site marvel

The only thing I've found is one called Life, but this is not a Daredevil comic sadly. I guess that due to it being a visual medium focused on art work, no one has found a sufficient way to translate that for the vision impaired, and even more sadly the cost for the distributors to double up printing and distribution of issues in such a way is probably not cost effective when talking about main characters ad properties.

What about audio books? Or novels (non graphic) that are for the vision impaired? Anything useful in those avenues?

Unfortunately, I don't think any Marvel comics come in braille. However, I'm sure you could find audio comics

I wish you luck in finding what you need. Marvel tends to be a real sucker for stories like this, though. (They wrote a comic for a kid who needed a hearing aid to make him feel better.) I would say you should contact them and ask them about getting Daredevil in Braille. You never know.

... wow.

First, I applaud you for your effort.

Second, it's rather bothersome that comics don't come in braille. That is a terrible thing for the companies to neglect. Especially since Daredevil was written with the intent of encouraging people and showing them that people with disabilities can be heroes, they should have a way to give access to people.

I think the best option would be to look for audio books. I know only a handful of comics, though.

This might sound odd, but try visiting your local library. They might have ideas. Failing that, visit bookstores. I would also encourage you to, in some way, get across to the companies that they are neglecting people who want to read their comic books.

Man that sucks, and its ironic too. I wouldn't think comic books would come in braille. The majority of comic books are about the pictures.
