Daredevil: The Man Without Fear by
4.0
The Man Without Fear is THE definitive Daredevil comic book series. I say this as a huge Frank Miller fan, I am fond of his storytelling and his characterisation of Matt Murdock.
These five issues build upon Daredevil’s origin story; from when he first loses his sight, to his father’s untimely death. The Man Without Fear begins with us readers learning Matt’s morals, as a kid he studies law after his father hits him. He doesn’t want to become a bad person, like everybody else around him seems to be. He wants to learn laws and rules rigidly. Everything that shapes him into the hero he is to become is covered.
It ends with him donning the Daredevil suit for the first time.
Regarding Romita JR’s art style, the best drawn character in my opinion is Elektra. His style with the other characters is quite blocky/square-looking, which works well for the main villain The Kingpin, but not so much for some of the others. The art-style was a contributing factor to me rating this 4 stars instead of 5.
"Let all the bullies know - all of them - the kind that use knives and guns and the kind that use money - they have an enemy. Daredevil."
