After enjoying the latest version of the Daredevil story with Netflix's new series it seemed like a good time to revisit this 1993 origin reboot that Frank Miller did for the character. It holds up fairly well although this story is more concerned with expanding the old story rather than making any changes to it. Miller avoids hitting on the major events of DD's life in order to focus on detailing the time between the accident that blinded young Matt Murdock to the first time he puts on a mask t...

Frank Miller's definitive five-issue origin of Daredevil from 1993. Young Matthew Murdock, son of a Hell's Kitchen boxer, is blinded by a radioactive isotope in a freak accident. He discovers through his training with the mysterious Stick that he can focus his other senses and perceive the world better than most sighted people. Matt's father is used as muscle for a local gang boss, finally refusing to give in. He is killed for his insubordination and Matt begins his lifelong crusade by hunting d...

The definitive place to start reading Daredevil, if you're interested in starting with his origin. Despite the datedness, this is a solidly crafted origin book featuring one of the best superheroes in comics and sporting some great imagery by John Romita Jr. While this artist is notorious for drawing crappy looking, blocky faces, he's got a good eye for iconic images. If you're a fan of the Netflix series, the first season took most of it's cues from this book: such as Stick, the Kingpin, an

"Daredevil The Man Without Fear" is essentially a reimagination of Daredevil's origin story, just like Miller did to Batman's.There's more focus on Matt's vulnerable side, which makes you feel for him and for his journey. Yet again, Miller excels at crafting a real-life feel to the world that his characters inhabit, complemented by the gritty and roughly visuals illustrated by the all talented John Romita Jr.I will say though, there are some small parts in the book that were a bit boring to me.O...

The journey that transformed Matt Murdock into Daredevil had many twists and a few key people. His love for fighting came from his father, but he promised to be better than his Dad by not fighting. His life changed when an accident sprayed him with chemicals costing him his sight get giving back more than most people could imagine.Matt Murdock's origin story is one I'm fairly familiar with even though I have rarely read any Daredevil stories. It was interesting seeing Stick training Matt after h...

Miller takes Daredevil and tries to do one of his Year One adaptations yet again.This story takes the original Stan Lee origin and expands it with Miller`s "contributions".Nothing all that newe, nothing all that original.I just got the feeling you get when you see one dog piss on a fire hydrant and a few secondes later another dog comes along and pisses on the exact same spot? Its all just one big territorial thing.Niller is telling Lee, yeah, you may have done this before, but here I come along...

Daredevil: The Man Without Fear was a five issue series written by Frank Miller and drawn by John Romita Jr. and for my tastes may be the best retelling of the origin of Daredevil. The books begin with the young life of Matt Murdock and his relationship with his father and the eventual accident that blinded the young boy. Battlin' Jack Murdock was a down on his luck prize fighter. A single father and a drunk. Forced to become an enforcer and collector for the mob, Jack's only dream was for his s...

The Man Without Fear is THE definitive Daredevil comic book series. I say this as a huge Frank Miller fan, I am fond of his storytelling and his characterisation of Matt Murdock. These five issues build upon Daredevil’s origin story; from when he first loses his sight, to his father’s untimely death. The Man Without Fear begins with us readers learning Matt’s morals, as a kid he studies law after his father hits him. He doesn’t want to become a bad person, like everybody else around him seems to...

FULL REVIEW NOW AVAILABLEMy only connection to the Marvelverse comics for the longest time was with their X-Men. It was only recently--thanks to the movies--that I began to enjoy what other Marvel heroes could offer I go insane for Captain America LIKE YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE. Now, like most people in the early 2000's, I barely remember the film adaptation of Daredevil starring Ben Affleck and Jennifer Gardner but everyone agrees it sucked major balls. All I can remember is that I did like its soun...

Franky Franky Franky;....this is your best work so far that I've read. Which isn't saying much haha. So the things I disliked, let's get it out of the way. The art and the Elektra storyline. Both are meh. The art isn't bad but feels outdated but everyone feels oddly shaped, almost dream-like. Then the Elektra storyline was both boring and silly and her character is so over the top it's moronic. On the good side though I always did love to see how Matt became the hero he is. It goes through diffe...

Solid reading! This TPB collects the original miniseries “Daredevil: The Man Without Fear” #1-5Creative Team:Writer: Frank MillerIllustrator: John Romita, Jr. THE DEVIL YOU DON’T KNOW There are times when Matt is glad to be blind. People depend on their eyes for almost everything. They miss so much. I knew about Marvel’s Daredevil. I have read a crossover with The Magdalena. I had watched that mediocre movie, but until I watched that TV masterpiece made on Netflix, it was when I really g

When Matt Murdock was rendered blind by radioactive material, it heightened his remaining senses to superhuman levels. But what happened between then and when Matt become Daredevil years later...?On the heels of reading the rest of Frank Miller's fantastic work on Daredevil, this was the one Frank Miller Daredevil book left.The Man Without Fear fills in the gaps between Matt's accident and his becoming Daredevil. Sure, there are some retcons, like the complete lack of the yellow costume and the

Like many reviewers who are appearing, I read Frank Miller's The Man Without Fear because I liked the recent Netflix Daredevil series. Although I read and enjoy graphic novels periodically, Daredevil was my first superhero graphic novel, as well as my first Frank Miller. I'm providing this brief background snippet so you can judge how much weight you want to give my review. Because:The Man Without Fear was awful. Really, truly execrable. I was embarrassed reading it in public on the train, which...

This is Frank Miller's retelling of Matt Murdock's coming of age and Daredevil's origin. While lacking the emotional power of earlier stories, this is still a solid tale of action and courage.John Romita, Jr. gets a lot of hate and I think it's unwarranted. Although cartoony, his illustration style is very good and comparable to Miller, Janson, and sometimes Mazzucchelli, which helps it blend in with Frank Miller's other Daredevil stories. There was even one vertical splash page which was awesom...

"He's a loner, a sinner, a lawyer who breaks a law"

This is a really strange comic, because it's like an origin story, but told to people who already know the origin story. If you don't already know Daredevil's origin, this is going to be unsatisfying in a lot of ways. (Who are Stick and Stone? Why the interest in Daredevil? Why does Elektra seem really important for a few pages, then vanish from the rest of the book? How come Daredevil never gets the bad guy at the end?)Having said that, Miller does a great job of bringing together a lot of poin...

It was okay. The backstory was interesting but the problem I had was how it was handled stylistically. Some of the illustrations were off (at one point, some blood was flat out lavender-pink) but mostly it was the narration that told the story which didn't work. The writing style was poetic, comprised almost entirely of short fragments that strung together into a story. This poetic style clashed with the action going on and completely mellowed it out. The poetry of it killed the excitement.

Introduction: Now, to be honest, I had never read a “Daredevil” comic book in all my life. The only way I knew about Daredevil himself was through the movie starring Ben Affleck that I saw years ago. However, after I saw the movie, I decided to check out some “Daredevil” comics and I stumbled upon Frank Miller’s version of the classic vigilante called “Daredevil: The Man Without Fear!” First of all, this is basically a retelling of Daredevil’s origin story since Daredevil originated in 1964
