Daredevil: The Man without Fear #[nn]
In "The Man without Fear Chapter 1," a young Matt, once a Hell's Kitchen troublemaker, loses his sight after a life-saving act that changes everything. As he navigates a world of shadows, he crosses paths with Battling Murdock, a down-on-his-luck boxer entangled with a mobster’s protection scheme, and Stick, the quiet gym janitor who begins to shape Matt into something more. With Frank Miller’s sharp storytelling and John Romita Jr.’s evocative art—inked by Al Williamson and colored by Christie Scheele—this pivotal chapter sets the stage for a journey forged in darkness and discipline. The cover by Romita Jr. and Williamson captures the weight of Matt’s transformation.
