Set Description:
No drum roll, please! Heavy riffs all the same. Who do I pay for this again?
Canadian Price Issue, which also has a Mark Jeweler Insert. Even the Daredevil could see that this is a diamond in the rough. It's Daredevil saying what needs to be said, he himself is blind, but has ways of seeing that can still tame the flame and keep the hammer of justice strong!
Yes, a collectible series, and full of 1sts, that often have been read over and over. Indeed, this series speaks to the liberty of people like Frank Miller, and the freedoms they used when illustrating, and or, writer!

Daredevil is leaps and bounds ahead of the game, yet with streaming and other media, he has proven he can take a beating but keep keen to see his way through to the next turning point.
 -Page12.jpg.c4d20376aa27a16897e9b31501fd2d92.jpg) 
Daredevil is determined to then hold on to the end. Law is fickle but yet established to rule and be that brandished rule at play when we focus on a whole of society. Taking up the courage to speak out and over, takes those that will lead the blind, and although they may be blind themselves, they are the able and willing.
Life determines by what structure we have at play; Daredevil only shows us that the undeserving can still make it out ok. With thoughts of tomorrow and a hope and a future we lean on those everlasting arms to help and get those out of harm's way.
Daredevil has the sonar implemented last call to action, dawning a cowl that he may be kind while searching out the stories from the Silver Age, and onward.

1st appearance of Vibranium. Ka-Zar, Zabu and Plunderer appearance. Origin of Ka-Zar and the Plunderer. Vibranium and ADAMANTIUM, the debate continues!?! Can it be that these 1sts are needed in the collection? Yes indeed, but neither can fully explain the heroes they are involved with; nor, the villains. Times they are a changing, and we can keep the old with the new, all aboard! The Captain America shield, the Black Panther, and the other characters boasting of skill who have utilized the Vibranium (now with a capital "V") deserve the honorable mention for the boost! Vibranium sleek and new, oh ADAMANTIUM what will you do? All these metals and their inspiration to keep relevant will pass the time around the campfire, and the debates will always be, "Who's hero is still capable without them!?!" Answers short and sweet to the questions we no doubt come to create!
Complete with a back cover picture of Zelda: Ocarina of Time! A "Link" statue that takes us back to missions throughout the Zelda universe of picking wild berries in order to obtain all the "heart containers", as it is a long journey! Similar to this Daredevil issue where the man without fear loses his abilities and or powers, so Kazar feeds him some potent wild juju berries in order to regain them! It amazes me first how many seem to acquire powers, but secondly, even more so, when those powers falter, how easy it is to just flip a switch to having powers AGAIN!
Grader Notes:
light wear all corners of cover;
moderate creasing to cover.

Classic Kirby Cover. Partial Origin of Daredevil Retold. Slugfest of two giants, and all in the ring! Keep it ring side for the "Battle of the Year" As advertised on the cover; we couldn't have imagined it on our own. A Half Price Books Find for cheap enough to read. Glad I got it for fun, as now I'm hooked on Kirby Classics! Submitted through the LCS, I had no idea what I was doing, just liked the thought of the slugfest. How can they be in a ring? Is it a paid show? As friends or sparring partners? How is it they have costumed up in public, and what is the gist of the whole experience? I unfortunately was too excited to sub it to read it. I may have to look it up digitally. Speaking of digital, the coloring and or art on moderns would not accentuate this copy so well. I get that Jack Kirby, sometimes, can be an acquired taste, but it IS VERY DRAMATIC AND IN YOUR FACE! If you ask me.
 No drum roll, please! Heavy riffs all the same.
Complete with the Ringmaster World Champion the Undertaker for the back cover picture, also featuring me and my brother who is 6 foot 5". Got at Fan Expo Dallas 2022. Yes, indeed the thrill seeker added to the roster last minute was a must for a photo. A tall, tall behemoth standing in this corner at 6 foot 10" the Undertaker!
Grader Notes:
moderate foxing back cover;
moderate tanning interior cover;
small crease right top of front cover breaks color.

Gil Kane cover. The same day I found out that Wednesday was new comic book day at the Local Comic Shop, back in 2016, I, too, had this experience at Half Price Books! A slab mix-up? Seemingly, Daredevil caught unawares being zapped by the inventor of a machine! I found this at Half Price Books, fairly priced for the grade, and a fair cover from an artist like Gil Kane. I'll take it! I showed it to the cashier, and he didn't know why it was in a "case!" He initially tried to take it out of the case upon checkout, I guess that he thought it was a security device! Weird, I tried to explain to him what it was, and he just nodded and rang me up. Still glad I made the purchase; I want to support when Half Price Books has in slabs to ensure that they'll obtain more! They have since upped their game in slabs, but with prices that sometime match, unless it is an extreme case where you have a coupon, and it is something worth grabbing.
 Wristbands carve out hearts for stamps at prescreens.
Complete with a back cover picture of the Wednesday Prescreen pass that was a full month before it was released to the public, but only one episode, the first one, an event that was on a Wednesday as well.

Start of Frank Miller's run on Daredevil, it begins, as notated on the CGC label. Origin & ""death"" of Death-Stalker. Black Widow appearance. That eerie by night cover! Daredevil has done it now! Spelunking has caused his detective skills to cause some backlash. What is the daring to do? When the Frank Miller has started with his epic cover and spine-tingling chills, it'll take instincts to kick in! Yes, this is the start of an "epic run" that is talked about unto this, the day it enters my collection in Near Mint Minus. A classic issue of sorts for the time period and from a hobby changing artist. I bought this from the Dave and Adams website in 2022 for $222 shipped, which I'm glad to have finally obtained, and it fits well with the other Miller examples in the collection. Who springs on the uninitiated at night, in a graveyard? Beware the Daredevil! It all starts here from issue #158, with that moody type of blue and grey coloring.
Complete with a back cover picture of a raw of the First ever Daredevil Frank Miller Art, in Spectacular Spider-Man #27 as notated on that books CGC label. Given to me in the boards Gift Exchange circa 2023 by boardie, "Grendelbo!"

1st Elektra and her Origin. She is a lover and a fighter and knocker of them out! Very skilled, Frank Miller brought the first portrayal to life that impacted Daredevil to make history. I'm glad to own it and to know of its importance to the Daredevil Universe. It is a most important moment to DD, relationship wise, and therefore to me! Elektra came out when I was young, and it was all mixed up as to how she would be involved in Daredevil's life! Mr. Miller is making what would soon be history, by debuting his involvement on a new character in the Daredevil series. Friend or Foe? It takes experiences once again to draw to the core, determining results after the two get acquainted. Elektra keeping her edge the whole time. Who doesn't love her outfit? Seems of a Ninja Descent? Perhaps stealth is her motto, with that jump on the Daredevil!
 Who do I pay for this again? Those are the examples in comics and film that this nunchaku and Sai have accomplished! It is Electric! "Elecktra!" Cover and film of an extreme suffering sometimes, but done with honor?
Complete with a back cover picture of another Ninja Assassin but also with a form of "Creed" in, Assassins Creed! As time goes by, it all comes flooding back as the memories of those would be stealthy and secretive oath takers continue on, and seemingly Elektra is no different, like most assassins that don't stop once they have taken their oath and or mission.
Grader Notes;
light spine stress lines to cover.

1st Typhoid Mary. It's the itchy and scratchy show! Poor feverish love, it's an entanglement to say how will you survive! It is like that when the Daredevil stuntman is under the weather storm of trouble. Still, sometimes the way out is through. Warriors, all of us, have times of healing from those touches of extreme stress. Times when we wish we could be alone, yet keep it together mind, soul, and strength; just don't forget the heart! It's going to take some rebounding for the sight inhibited to catch all the darts being thrown his way. We hear the cry from long ago heartache. Indeed, the Daredevil is coming to grips with his meager strength. There is also everyone's mortality rate and the longing to bond to another. Villains love to spy on weakness, that is what makes it treacherous to be a HERO! They're needed and though they fail, we need those attempts at greatness!
Complete with a back cover picture of my under copy, splash paging Typhoid of Mary! Open it up and Kung-Fu!

Who doesn't love an annual? To have at least one in each major set, when it is available, is a fun idea and a goal! Got to keep it alive! Bought this in 2023, when a boardie and friend Chad was visiting from Australia. Glad to have it happen on free comic book day weekend too! Picked it up from Local Comic Shop Awesome Comics, for the cost to slab of $30! This and one other, to close out the week. At first, I was thinking that an annual only at issue #4 from a series that originally started in 1964 was odd, and in 1989 it seemed a long time to wait to get that small of a number. I had to do research to see if Daredevil had flown under the radar for so long, but as it turns out, it is for the year 1989, specifically! Then the Daredevil series skipped #5 annual altogether ha-ha! Good to know. Glad to add more Daredevil anytime and learn something new as well, annuals in the registry with two #4 slots and a specific note of "1989!" Maybe they saw Prince coming ha-ha, for a decade later! Glad that Chad was expertly picking up "raws", but I needed a slab to commemorate!
Complete with a back cover picture of, the video game from PlayStation, "Crash Bandicoot Koozie!" Aku Aku is the video games magic icon mask that is relaxing all cool until the "magic" shows up to extend life and other powers that be, Dr. Strange is that embodied token! You looked for them for extra lives and a bit of ability in the supernatural, although the real diligence was in the ingenuity to get past the obstacles without getting burned. Koozie icons like Dr. Strange help a Spider-man keep their cool! A small refresher from the CGC Video Games Division.
