More About the Author

Stan Lee is a man who needs no introduction. Nevertheless: Having begun his career with wartime Timely Comics and staying the course throughout the Atlas era, Stan the Man made comic-book history with Fantastic Four #1, harbinger of a bold new perspective in story writing that endures to this day. With some of the industry's greatest artists, he introduced hero after hero in Incredible Hulk, Amazing Spider-Man, X-Men and more -- forming a shared universe for rival publishers to measure themselves against. After an almost literal lifetime of writing and editing, Lee entered new entertainment fields and earned Marvel one opportunity after another. He remains one of Marvel's best-known public representatives.

This review is from: Daredevil, Vol. 1 (Marvel Masterworks) (Paperback)

Marvel Masterworks are a great way to get Silver Age stories without paying the high prices for the original 1960's issues. I have gotten the "Essentials" books but those reprints are just black and white while the Masterworks are in color. I wanted the Daredevil volume one edition to have the first ten issues. I actually have issues 12 through 27 of the original comics so this helped fill in the gap. There is nothing like having the actual comics (with the ads and the letter pages) but Marvel Masterworks is an economical way of getting the stories (and pin-ups, etc.). As for the Daredevil sotories in this first volume, the stories are a little "stiff" and the artwork is not my favorite (When John Romita took over with Issue # 12, I thought the series improved greatly) but it is good background and you can see how the character developed.
