Owner's Description
Daredevil #7 features the 1st appearance of Daredevil’s signature red costume!
Overstreet 2023 NM- 9.2 value = $3,400.
According to the CGC Census Report as of Tuesday, August 22, 2023, out of a total of 2,159 Universal copies graded, ONLY a scant 11 copies were graded in 9.4 with ONLY 4 copies graded higher in 9.6!
With these statistics in mind, this represents an impressive rarity factor of ONLY 0.51% of the total population!
___________________________________________________________
Daredevil truly lives up to his moniker! In just his previous six appearances, he has faced off against some of the most powerful Marvel characters, which include in chronological order: Electro, the Owl, Spider-Man, the Purple Man, El Matador and Mr. Fear!
Now, in issue #7, The Man Without Fear must battle another super powerful antagonist, which is none other than Mr. Namor McKenzie AKA the Sub-Mariner!
For historical reference, Sub-Mariner was one of the very 1st Marvel Superhero / Supervillains ever created! Published in November of 1939 by Timely Comics (before they merged into Marvel Comics), Sub-Mariner first appeared in the extremely RARE Marvel Comics #1! This historical landmark issue also featured the first appearances of other Golden Age standout characters such as the Human Torch, Ka-Zar, Angel, Jungle Terror, and the Masked Raider!
After appearing in numerous issues within the Golden Age comic book runs of Marvel Mystery Comics (1939-1949), All-Winners Comics (1941-1947) and Sub-Mariner Comics (1941-1955), Sub-Mariner would not appear in the Silver Age of Comics until Fantastic Four #4, which was published in May of 1962.
In just under 3 years later, in April of 1965—exactly 1 year after Daredevil #1 was published, Stan Lee decided to have The Devil of Hell’s Kitchen go head-to-head with the super powerful Sub-Mariner…in his classic 7th issue!
With all the bloodshed that Daredevil has endured throughout his early existence, it was only fitting to modify his yellow and black costume to his iconic crimson red suit that we are all familiar with!
In addition, the classic Wally Wood cover and art is stunning, as the Sub-Mariner is featured throwing Daredevil underwater like a ragdoll! Furthermore, the deep blue and purple background make it one of the toughest issues within the run to attain in high-grade, which out of the 1st ten Daredevil issues, #7 is the ONLY issue that does not have a single CGC 9.8 graded!
In closing, I purchased this PERFECTLY WRAPPED & CENTERED immaculate copy from Pedigree Comics’ Grand Auction in March of 2022! I was very blessed to end up with the winning bid and I am looking forward to watching it appreciate each year!
Happy Collecting & Enjoy the Hunt!
