The comic book under Colan’s pencils oozed action and boasted some pretty impressive bad guys.
What happens when Daredevil’s most dangerous foes band together to take out old Horn Head? King-Size Special Here Comes Daredevil The Man Without Fear! issue #1 answers that question.
Look for plenty of action, fisticuffs and wisecracks in a story that nearly marks the end of Daredevil.
I remember when I bought this Annual I was blown away. It was, and still is, my favorite early Daredevil adventure.
The Annual typifies what Daredevil was all about before the grim and gritty Frank Miller dark days.
Gene Colan was at the top of his game as far as his art was concerned.
His swashbuckling, free-for-all, acrobatic and wise-cracking Daredevil was all action and loads of fun to look at and read.
To me, at that time, Daredevil was much more interesting and exciting than Spider-Man and DD’s rogue’s gallery ranked right up there with Batman’s.
There was something light and airy about the Daredevil comic book and his first Annual delivered not only with the art but the story as well.
The Annual nailed the character of Daredevil and is by far one of the best DD stories ever illustrated by Gene Colan.
John 16:33 - These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
