Daredevil: The Man Without Fear

Great story and excellent tpb, would recommend for Daredevil fans

A classic read from great creators. The team of Miller and Romita give us a 'Year One' of the best Marvel character on par with Miller and Mazuchelli's other 'Year One' staple.

Every few years, we have to have a new telling of a hero's origin story. Sometimes the hero has been around so long that it's worth updating to make the character's origin in line with changes in technology and society; sometimes the character himself is given a different background to reach new audiences; sometimes a movie portrayal creates new interest in the character; usually, it feels like an attempted cash grab for the publisher, and sometimes even a minor betrayal of long time fans. Daredevil has seen his own share of revisited origin stories. I've only gotten into the character in the past few years, I've loved his adventures, but reading his early exploits, back in Daredevil #1, you have to wonder what happened to make Daredevil one of Marvel's most enduring characters. It was tough to get too excited about Daredevil taking on the Purple Man, or Stiltman(!), or even Namor. Daredevil: Yellow was my favorite retelling of the Daredevil origin, focusing more on the character than his abilities, mostly sweet but hinting at tragedies to come. Then I read Frank Miller's take. I had read and enjoyed other Frank Miller Daredevil stories, but The Man Without Fear is a tour de force, writer and artist collaborating to give a legendary character an iconic beginning. The basic story is familiar: son of Battlin' Jack Murdock, blinded in a tragic accident, loses his father when Jack refuses to take a fall for the gamblers, goes to law school, fights for justice day and night (mostly night). So what makes this story special? I suppose, since he was working with an established character, Miller could cut out the cheese that dominated the first issues, could draw connections to the characters who would be most important in Matt Murdock's epic. Of course Foggy is there, though they Don meet until college; college also brings Elektra into Matt's life, for better or worse. Stick readies Matt to become Daredevil, but questions his usefulness; Kingpin is pulling all the strings behind the scenes, and is no conflicted bad guy - Kingpin is ruthless, merciless, a character who would make Don Corleone nervous. And it is the confrontation with this pure evil that forces Matt to finally become the protector of Hell's Kitchen. Like I said, it's a familiar story - but you've never seen it like this. Miller and Romita remake the template - this is the style the current series adopted, the gritty realism that would change everything in comics. Daredevil is the hero for the underdog, the blind man who can do things few superheroes manage. There are no "powers," though, no radiation that gave young Matt a "radar sense" as an informal power; Miller's Daredevil is the result of a boy refusing to accept his blindness as a limitation, who enhances his other senses through intense training until he has a vision of the world that exceeds those who allow their sight to define a more limited world. So if you've ever wondered, "Why Daredevil?", pick up The Man Without Fear, and answer the question for yourself.

This is peak Miller. The rebirth of a third string character as one of the coolest. Dripping with hard boiled edge. Awfully dark. Frustrated violence. Compelling like no other superhero comic.

As a daredevil fan, I loved this. It has drama, action and set piece moments that had me excitedly flipping the pages. Loved the artwork too, there’s a reason this book is considered a classic. If you’re daredevil fan, or getting into the character: do not miss!

Came in great packaging and condition.

Daredevil: The Man Without Fear covers the extensive origin story of Marvel's Daredevil written by Frank Miller. To put it bluntly, this comic is amazing. It is one of the most well-written comics I have ever read. Every page is filled with so much detail; in both the beautiful art and narrative. This, along with Batman: Year One and The Dark Knight Returns, is where Frank Miller truly shines. If you are a fan of comics, get this comic. If you want to start reading Daredevil, this is a great place to start. I would highly, highly recommend this comic. WARNING: While this comic is amazing, it does ONLY cover the origin story. It's still definitely worth getting, but don't expect any more than the origin.

A.modern way of retelling the story that is Matt Murdoch. A great way to make you hunger grow for the love drama that is Elektra.

Não tem como, o Demolidor é o herói mais interessante da Marvel. Ótimo enredo de Frank Miller e belas ilustrações de Romita Jr.

Really like how they presented the development of matt from lawyer to daredevil. Loved connection between matt and electra. It's awesome

Muy buena calidad de impresión

This is awesome!! A great origin story. Classic Frank Miller at his best.

Truly a spectacular comic. Must have for all DD fans. Romitas Jr art here is very good too works perfectly with the story.
