DAREDEVIL COVER GALLERY...


Copyright MARVEL COMICS

C'mon, you have to admit - a blind superhero is quite an outrageous concept for a comicbook character, and one that perhaps only Smilin' STAN LEE could have come up with.  I wonder how he managed to sell the idea to his publisher, Merry MARTIN GOODMAN - it surely couldn't have been easy.

"Er, how's that again?  He swings around the city on a nylon rope and fights gun-totin' gangsters and super-powered criminals... but he's blind?!  Are you outta your gourd, Stan?"

"Calm down, Martin.  Yes, he can't see, but due to an accident with a radioactive cannister, he's developed a kind of radar sense and his other senses have been heightened to an unbelievable degree!"

"You're right, Stan - it is unbelievable.  You're fired!"

And thus endeth the MARVEL AGE.

At least, that's how it could've happened, but thankfully didn't.  Ol' Horn-head is still around today and remains one of MARVEL's most popular heroes amongst the ranks of comics fandom.

"Hey, I've got an idea - let's hold the show right here!"

What show?  Why, the Daredevil Cover Gallery show, of course.  So, without any further ado ('cos all our ado is done), here it is!
