Even at twenty plus years old with garish colors, it remains undiminished as a classic of the superhero genre. Only when there’s a true collaboration, and the writer and artist are working together as Miller and Mazzucchelli do here, and both bringing more to it than each could individually, do you get a great work, a classic, like this one.

Miller did a great job with Batman in the past, it was probably an easy transition into Marvel's version of "Batman". It wasn't a bad novel by any means but I think I somehow expected more from what critics called "The Defining Daredevil Story". ( )

The first graphic novel by Frank Miller I ever read - afterwards I was a fan of him and David Mazzucchelli. I think it was also one of the first comics that I read in English language. This book is a great adventure and it is perfectly drawn - I have read it many times and it always keeps me turning the pages until the last one is reached. ( )

Daredevil is involved in a personal war with the Kingpin. Said crimelord is getting pretty sick of the horned guy, and sets out to ruthlessly destroy him, one piece of his life at a time. Having discovered his identity as Matt Murdoch, this becomes an even easier task.

The Kingpin only makes one mistake, when the assassins he hires to bump off Matt fail to do the deed comprehensively.

Frank Miller is one of the best creative forces in comics today, both in terms of art and writing. This is the compilation of his "Daredevil" episodes, which chronicles the events that follow when the Kingpin learns Daredevil's true identity, and methodically destroys his life. The fall to the depths, and his eventual rebirth as a man and a hero, are presented in near-religious terms (as are the titles of each issue herein). This is one of the most daring and courageous changes in the life of a major mainstream superhero that I have seen, and nobody could have done it better than Frank Miller. This is one of the best comic book story collections I have seen, perhaps only surpassed by Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns" story. ( )
