Bill Everett

Daredevil Omnibus Vol. 1 is the Silver Age foundation of Matt Murdock: lawyer, acrobat, Catholic guilt machine and street-level hero still finding his shape. Stan Lee, Bill Everett, Wally Wood and Gene Colan build the early grammar of Daredevil through Foggy, Karen, the law office, colorful villains and the tension between disability, performance and responsibility. The value is origin texture rather than modern noir.
