Owner's Description
Daredevil #36 features Daredevil Vs. the Trapster (formerly Paste-Pot Pete) + appearances by Dr. Doom (last page cameo), the Human Torch, the Invisible Girl, and Mr. Fantastic!
Overstreet 2023 NM- 9.2 value = $115.
According to the CGC Census Report as of Tuesday, August 22, 2023, out of a total of 247 Universal copies graded, only 37 copies were graded in 9.4 with only 26 copies graded higher: 23 in 9.6 and 3 in 9.8!
With these statistics in mind, this represents an impressive rarity factor of only 14.98% of the total population!
___________________________________________________________
Published in January of 1968, Gene Colan (penciller) & Paul Reinman (inker) set off the new year by producing a stunning spotlight cover in which the Trapster (formerly Paste-Pot Pete, who famously graced the cover of Strange Tales #110—Doctor Strange’s 1st appearance), is kneeling while holding an unconscious Daredevil!
Lurking in the background, you can see small parts of a green colored cape, with two arms reaching toward the Trapster & Daredevil, who is none other than the diabolical Dr. Doom!
The colors coordinate beautifully, as the dark blue and purple background bring out the red, green, and yellow colors, which are perfectly balanced throughout the Gene Colan cover!
Early Silver Age Daredevil issues are still extremely undervalued in the current marketplace, so it would not be a bad idea to invest in high grade copies NOW, while they are still very affordable!
In closing, I purchased this PERFECTLY WRAPPED & CENTERED copy from Comic Link’s Focused Auction in March of 2022! I am super proud to own this immaculate copy and look forward to watching it appreciate each year!
Happy Collecting & Enjoy the Hunt!
