Origin and 1st appearance of Daredevil (Matt Murdock). 1st appearance of Karen Page and Foggy Nelson.
I always wanted a Daredevil #1 and now I have 2! Last year I was able to snag a super cheap 4.0. This year I finally got it in the grade and price range I originally decided that I could afford.
Now the difficult question... Do I sell my 4.0 right away or hold it?

One of the few high grade copies that is pretty well centered. Many copies of this book are so poorly wrapped that the price box on the cover reads ARVEL and 2 cents. I've even seen a 9.8 that was one of these infamous 2 variants. Very glad about the price I paid for this beauty.
First appearance of Scorpio in "Who is Scorpio?" Script and pencils by Jim Steranko, inks by Joe Sinnott. Letter to the editor from comics writer Don McGregor. Steranko cover. Cover price $0.12.
