Here's How You Can Read Today About Matt Murdock, Daredevil

First Appearing in Daredevil Issue 1 in 1964, Matt Murdock is just a kid who would change his life by saving another man’s. By pushing a man out of the way of an oncoming truck, Murdock was seriously injured and while blinded, developed other abilities. From then on, The Devil of Hell’s Kitchen fought for justice inside and outside the court room.

The Man Without Fear has a ton of great story arcs since his first appearance and one of the best is Frank Millers take on the character. This run is incredibly important to how he is portrayed today and takes you through timeless stories like Born Again, The Man Without Fear, The Last Hand, and More

Like Miller, Brian Michael Bendis also had a revolutionary run on the character during the Marvel Knights era. This run sees Matt Murdock beaten and broken and mustering everything he has to rise up to the challenges he must face.
