Mighty Marvel Masterworks - Here Comes Daredevil, The Man Without Fear

 As I keep saying, I still have a soft spot in my heart for these 60' Marvel Masterworks, as I grew up with these amazing tales thanks to my big brother purchasing them when they came out. I loved all of these early heroes but I think that Daredevil was a fave possibly because his powers weren't quite as fantastical as some of the others and he was a bit more relatable in that way, even with his heightened senses. That combined with Stan Lee's fine storytelling and excellent artwork from the incredible Wally Wood (after the first few issues by the legendary Bill Everett, Joe Orlando and Vince Colletta) made these pretty irresistible.

Of course, our blind hero has to pine for a love interest that he feels he does not deserve, or should not endanger due to his dual identities, and he fills that void with his crimefighting. We are introduced to iconic villains such as Electro (who had already made an appearance in Spider-Man), the Owl, the Purple Man (who became much more sick'n'twisted in the Jessica Jones TV series), the Matador, the Fellowship of Fear, the Stiltman, and many others, all in less than a dozen issues! This creative team was on fire!

I'd say that this was some of Marvel's finest work at the time. Great stuff to re-explore or check out for the first time!
