The pivotal omnibus in the history of Daredevil: Frank Miller's first pages on the title coexist with Gene Colan's final run on the character, creating a remarkable document of generational transition. Miller arrives with a stripped-down, noir-influenced approach that immediately signals a new direction for the series. The contrast between Colan's expressionist style and Miller's angular precision is itself a study in the evolution of American comics. A must-own for any serious Daredevil collector.
