Born to a past-his-prime boxer, when young Matt Murdock's daring act to save a man's life results in an accident that blinds him, he finds that his other senses have been enhanced to super-human levels. After his father's murder those powers make him Daredevil, the protector of New York City's mean streets. Stan Lee and Bill Everett 's Daredevil debut was as gritty as they came, a tale of murder and sacrifice tempered with the desire to protect the downtrodden. Matt Murdock was someone diff erent, and you'll see just why in his first Marvel Masterworks!
