Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Daredevil Epic Collection Vol. 1 The Man Without Fear by Stan Lee Essential Daredevil: The Man Without Fear Volume 1. Part 1 I really love these Marvel Essentials volumes. Granted they are in black and white, and the cover bindings often seem to separate but the tales and art are still engaging as historical records of one of the most exciting times in comics; the dawn of the Marvel Age. With the first volume of The Essential Daredevil we get a collection of issues 1 thru 25 of Daredevil: The Man Without Fear Volume 1. These early and formative tales of ol’ hornhead were written, for the most part, by Stan the Man himself and it is easy to see why, after one reads these tales, we refer to Stan as The Man so often. The tales collected in this volume are not quite as sophisticated to modern readers as Frank Miller’s run or even Brubaker’s current run, but if put in their historical context they are incredibly ground breaking. Several of the villains introduced, or in the case of Electro, borrowed from other hero’s rogue galleries, border on the silly if not inane. In issue 5 we get “The Mysterious Masked Matador,” yes true believers he is what his name implies, a funny hat, stocking and slipper wearing, cape waving bull fighter! In issue 8 we get Stiltman, that’s right, a guy with hydraulic stilts, that don’t appear to have knee joints so one wonders just how does he walk over the Brooklyn Bridge as shown in a panel on page 13 of the collected issue he appears in. Although these villains seem enormously silly, and in many ways they are, the tales of their tangles with Daredevil are not quite as silly as their monikers or appearances. During the Stiltman episode we get some interesting insight into some of Daredevil’s nifty gadgets. For example we get a pretty sophisticated breakdown of his billy club with its built in microphone, batteries, tape recorder, cable springs, etc. (page 5). We also get the revelations that his “devil horns” are really antennae for radio reception. Whether or not these toys stayed part of D.D.’s collection over the years, they were pretty cool for their time. We also get a pretty harsh ending to Stiltman that foreshadowed the tone the book would later take over the years especially with the theme of seeming death and resurrection. (Okay, maybe Stiltman doesn’t die per se, but shrinking into nothing is a pretty close analogy!). With the Matador episode we get a Daredevil who is defeated by this silly looking villain in perhaps the least silliest of ways, by taking away D.D.’s only super power, his senses. We also get that classic Stan Lee realism of character when we see Matt Murdock agonizing over his defeat and willing admission that he wants to defeat the Matador, “not merely for my pride…but to show the world justice is mightier than crime.” It is the “not merely for my pride…” admission that helps make Matt seem so human to us, and the readers of the day. While he is a hero, he is also a man with varying emotions such as pride and anger. Again, this humanism is common place nowadays in comics, but for its time, Stan Lee was breaking new and interesting ground in comics storytelling. Matt also, keeping in character as a lawyer, sneaks into the library at night to research his foe in the library’s archives. In our times he most likely would have hopped on the internet but alas we would have to wait several decades for the chance to see Matt log onto Westlaw. During the course of his research Matt stumbles upon The Matador’s weakness, his pride. Matt ends up using The Matador’s pride against him by publicly declaring that The Matador and D.D. are the same person, thusly “daring to seal my (The Matador’s) glory??” Underlying this whole tale filled with silly costumed bad guys and heroes (D.D. was still in his mostly yellow tights at this point) we get a battle, not just between hero and villain, but between the blinding power of pride and its consequences. Daredevil, when he first takes on The Matador and is defeated he feels the sting of defeat and a blow to his pride. He then humbles himself, makes a fool of himself as Murdock, and uses The Matador’s pride against him to defeat him by calling him out. We end up with a rather sophisticated tale about pride, excessive pride’s danger, and the need to set aside your own pride in the pursuit of the greater good and justice. Stan Lee gives us a very human and easy to relate to character along with an insightful cautionary tale with his storytelling. It was this kind of “gritty realism” in the portrayal of heroes and villains as men and women with commonplace virtues and vices that would set the stage for the Daredevil tales to come in the following decades. Another aspect of this realism would prove to be the love triangle that exists between Karen, Foggy and Matt. This triangle would take many twists and turns in the first 25 issues alone, including Foggy’s hinting to Karen that he might actually be Daredevil to win her affections. At one point Matt vows to always go it alone and “accept my lonely fate” since “After all can Daredevil offer a girl the type of life all brides dream of? No…” Oh Matt, if you only stuck to your vow… 1998 NEWS. DAREDEVIL; NEW YORK UNDERGROUND A novel based upon the Marvel Comics character, written for Keith DeCandido at Byron Preiss via Berkeley books. Release date is set as June 1999. This is going to be a lot of fun; as straight a crime novel as I can manage, full of drugs, torture and sick movies. only with Daredevil in [it]. My notion of what the comic should be like, I guess. March 1998. February 1998. Marvel, Event Co-Founders Strike A Deal The formal announcement has finally been made. The formation of a strategic packaging alliance between Marvel and Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti, co-founders of Event Comics. Marvel has entered into an exclusive publishing agreement that has Quesada and Palmiotti producing four Marvel titles: Daredevil, Black Panther, Inhumans and The Punisher. Marvel will market and distribute the titles produced under this agreement. Based in Marvel's New York headquarters, Quesada and Palmiotti will reports to Bob Harras, Editor in Chief, Marvel Comic Group. With writer and director Kevin Smith already set to write the first six issues of Daredevil, Quesada and Palmiotti plan to assemble and lead an all-star team in the new genesis of story arcs for the four Marvel titles. "Jimmy and I are incredibly excited about the opportunity Marvel has given us," Quesada said. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to take a set of characters and give them a fresh and unique spin without changing the formula that Stan Lee gave the world. We will take that formula of super heroes with human frailties and bring it into the new millenium." Palmiotti added, "It is a thrill for us to put our own spin on the books we grew up with. I think of this move as a natural step for us. This will be a blast for everyone and we promise it will be obvious in the books." The re-invigorated titles are scheduled to hit comic book shelves near the end of summer '98. Daredevil Live Action Flick on Hold by Rob Allstetter The Daredevil live-action movie has been put into turnaround. The film is no longer at 20th Century Fox, and rights have reverted back to Marvel Entertainment. J.M. DeMatteis said he was days away from working on the Daredevil screenplay when the movie was put into turnaround. "Right now I believe that there are other studios very interested in the project, but my understanding is that it's being held up until Marvel's current financial mess is sorted out," DeMatteis. "That said, I have no idea if anyone currently involved with the project will be around when it's resurrected. I hope so.but, Hollywood being Hollywood, I certainly won't count on it." DeMatteis was approached the by the film's attached director, Carlo Carlei, to write the screenplay after earlier versions were written by Carlei and producer Chris Columbus. "Despite the fact that I was brought in to rewrite, the two earlier scripts I read and built from, one by Chris and a rewrite by Carlo, were extremely good," DeMatteis said. "They weren't completely there yet.but they were very impressive pieces of work. And they really pointed the way for me. "As it stands the story begins with the origin and involves (quite logically, I'm happy to say) DD, Elektra, Bullseye, and the Kingpin. And all the characters are there for a reason." DeMatteis had some interesting casting ideas. "Nicolas Cage would make a great DD, I think. Forget Superman, Nick -- this is where you belong!" DeMatteis said. "And if we could just resurrect Orson Welles -- at, say, age 50 -- and shave his head.you'd have one helluva Kingpin." DeMatteis continues to work on another script, an original called Straight on Till Morning, for Columbus' 1492 Pictures. It's a modern-day Rip VanWinkle story. January 1998. [A]ccording to [JOE] QUESADA, news of KEVIN SMITH's departure as writer of DAREDEVIL over the weekend proved to be premature, and that Smith is still in, or more accurately BACK in, as writer of what-will-be a relaunched DD. Last week, Smith announced to reporters that he was NOT going to participate as has been long-rumored, and left the following explanation at his website. "I wanted to do a storyline about Matt Murdock getting his sight back. About a week ago, Joe informed me that in the lag between the Event pickup and Joe Kelly's run, Scott Lobdell was going to do 4 issues. In those 4 issues, Daredevil was, you guessed it, going to get his sight back. This left me in a bad place, as that was the storyline I was working on for a few weeks." "Faced with this, I had to come up with a new storyline, and guess what? I couldn't. I didn't have another story arc in me. I thought and I dwelled, did a bunch of re-reading of my favorite DD storylines - I did my homework. And I still couldn't come up with one." HOWEVER, over the weekend, after a pep talk with Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti, Smith came up with another idea. "A (bleep)in' brilliant idea, better than his original," said Quesada. According to the Event co-head, Smith has already finished the plots for the first 2 issues and will now write 6 issues, or at least as many as his filmmaking schedule will allow. "Kevs original idea was really good, this new one is epic, I don't want to give away any details but I've worked with a lot of great writers before but this has to be hands down the best 2 issues of any comic I've ever received to pencil, you can tell that Kevin was truly inspired writing this, it's not an easy task taking a much worn hero and taking him to new horizons but I believe Kevin is going that way," concluded Quesada. After Smith departs, writer DAVID MACK (KABUKI) will come on and finish out the year of stories the deal entails. I know, it sucks. It was a tough decision to make. In the end, I think I did what was best for me, Joe and Jimmy, and the comic. I wanted to do a storyline about Matt Murdock getting his sight back. About a week ago, Joe informed me that - in the lag between the Event pickup and Joe Kelly's run - Scott Lobdell was going to do four issues. In those four issues, Daredevil was - you guessed it - going to get his sight back. This left me in a bad place, as that was the storyline I was working on for a few weeks. Faced with this, I had to come up with a new storyline, and guess what? I couldn't. I didn't have another story arch in me. I thought and I dwelled, did a bunch of re-reading of my favorite DD storylines - I did my homework. And I still couldn't come up with one. Taking over this (and the other titles they'll be doing) is a big deal for Jimmy and Joe. I didn't want to be the guy who fucked it up because I wasn't good enough to come up with an original enough storyline. So I had to bow out. I know Joe and Jimmy were there for me in the past (they've done artwork for us on two of our three flicks). I've always been as supportive of them as I could, whenever it was appropriate (meaning, in every interview I was asked about my faves and fave creators, I always plugged Joe and Jimmy). It hurt like hell to have to tell them (which I had to do first by fax, so I didn't backpedal on the phone - I know me and that's what I would've done because I hate to let people down. especially friends), but I do believe it's the best thing for all concerned. I had nothing new to bring to the book, after my storyline was intercepted. Call me talentless, call me whatever, but that's the simple truth. Hopefully, something will come up in the future that I can write for the guys. But between my lack of anything new to offer and the pile of commitments I've got ahead of me ('Dogma', 'Fletch', the novel, and. well, we won't talk about that yet), I wouldn't be able to do the book the justice it deserves. I know this opens me up for flaming of all sorts (on the last board, I was deemed a 'homo' for letting the guys down), and it may be a letdown for folks who wanted to see what I'd do with the character. But in the end, I don't want to put something out there that I feel isn't the best I can offer (and that's the best *I* feel I can offer, so no 'Hey man, 'Mallrats' sucked' crap, please). And right now, the only thing I can offer ol' hornhead falls far below what Miller did with the character, oh so long ago. So that's the story on that. MARVEL/EVENT UPDATE Marvel and Event Comics continue to hammer out the details regarding a long-rumored joint publishing deal. According to Event co-head Jimmy Palmiotti, IF the current and progressing negotiations are successful, the deal will not only result in Event packaging 4 monthly Marvel titles, but also involves JOE QUESADA and Palmiotti relaunching their own titles under EVENT Comics, but distributed by Marvel and through Marvel's retail catalog. As for the Marvel titles will package, Palmiotti confirmed they are currently negotiating for the BLACK PANTHER, and DAREDEVIL. DD would be written by filmmaker KEVIN SMITH (who has committed with Event to write the title for 1 year) and illustrated by Quesada and Palmiotti. According to Palmiotti, the title will be relaunced with a new #1, probably sometime later this summer. Palmiotti could not confirm the other 2 titles, but rumors point to the PUNISHER, and a 4th "title" that will be made up a monthly series of one and two-shots starring a variety of Marvel characters. As for Event (who will move into the 13th penthouse floor of Marvel's Park Avenue NYC headquarters), Palmiotti describes their relationship with Marvel as "working partners", and they will retain total editorial control over their characters, properties, and titles, but take advantage of Marvel superior distribution system. Event is considering and hopes to lower the price of their titles from $2.95 to $2.50 (while retaining the same quality), once the deal is in place and their title relaunch Plans are in the works for new ASH, PAINKILLER JANE, and 22 BRIDES ongoing titles, some unrevealed "creator-owned" projects, and some crossovers with Marvel characters (but "not for a long while" according to Palmiotti). But among the 1st titles that would be distributed and cataloged by Marvel include the long-awaited 5-issue JAMES ROBINSON/Quesada/Palmiotti ASH mini-series, and the completion of GEORGE PEREZ's CRIMSON PLAGUE mini. Event also has plans for a series of PAINKILLER JANE crossovers. Following May's Waid/Augustyn/Leonardi VAMPIRELLA/PAINKILLER JANE one-shot with Harris, Event currently has deals with one large comic publisher, one smaller one, and are negotiating with another for crossovers in June, July and August, leading into the new PK ongoing series later this year.
