Top Ten Daredevil Covers: Vol. 1 (1964-1998)
Ah, comic book cover art. I’m a sucker for it. Countless times both good and bad I’ve been persuaded to pick up a book based solely on its front cover. Being a big Daredevil fan and to celebrate the news that Marvel has reacquired the film rights to the character I figured I’d single out the man without fear and pick my ten favorite covers from the series first volume (spanning 1964-1998). Due to his big role in Daredevil’s history, I don’t think anyone will be surprised by the healthy amount of Frank Miller included in this countdown.

There you have it! Agree? Disagree? Did I leave out your favorite cover from this era? Drop me a line in the comments section and let me know. Here’s hoping Marvel makes the movie that this character deserves.

This some great examples. One note though, is it just me or is the placement of that table leg a little unfortunate?
I didn’t notice it when I posted it, now I can’t unsee it.
