  1. “And that’s why, during the day I studied law whilst at night I put on a blood red, devil-like costume and fought organised crime with my billy clubs”.

  2. If it weren’t for Spanner’s Galaxy I would be bilking the retirement funds of a major corporation right now.

  3. Well I guess we finally found the one good thing to come out of the golden age Daredevil series.

    I think it’s odd that Biro and Wood actually got cover credits for the series, albeit as “editors” rather than artists.

  4. It’s nice that Daredevil saved at least one person from a life of crime. Although I think the Ben Affleck movie drove at least one person TO a live of crime, so DD’s broken even.

  5. I’ve been going through those Golden Age Daredevil stories, and they are all mini morality plays. They come across as preachy now, but maybe the world could use some lessons on good citizenship these days….

  6. I wonder how many Daredevil-reading kids Frank Miller scared away from crime?

    That said, you totally win this thread, Philip!
