Some of Miller's best work. Love the minimal dialogue and heavy narration. Fits the tone perfectly. And Romita's art is perfect for DD.
This is the Batman: Year One of Daredevil. I know that the same team did Born Again and I absolutely love that series but in terms of origins, this hits that same way that Year One did. Slight changes to the overall origin that can and have been retconned but it's solid. This is the height of Romita's talent and it's heartbreaking to see where he is now after this book. I've never been a huge Frank Miller fan but he's written three or four of my favorite series ever.
I could maybe do without the intense melodrama of the narration, but this is an origin story hugely worth its salt, for a character that hugely deserves it.
It's a good comic, but I've read Yellow and Battlin' Murdock not long ago, so it feels like I already saw it a hundred tumes. Nevertheless, it's still cool enough.
