Wow, what a great page! I remember  when this book broke up there was a lot of concern about how oddball many pages looked, since Everett was late and other artists had to finish the pages (iirc,Ditko was involved), but this one is really 100% on-target.  I love the Golden Age feel to it.

Fascinating, I'd never heard that.  How long ago was it broken up? 

 

Congrats to the OP on a grail piece!

Wow it’s so amazing seeing the original art for daredevil 1. Wow! I’d love to know how you managed to land such a grail .

I'm a little vague on details and am sure someone else here was paying better attention at the time, so chime in.  Broke up mmmmmaybe 20 years ago?  Not  every page surfaced.  Lotsa talk at the time like "Sure it's a #1, but look at all the different hands in it" so pages sat a bit.  I think people almost instantly regretted doing that.

Wow - this is a really great one - congrats, Grail is applicable here.

Thanks Glen!  Do you know who might know the breakdown of who inked each page?  I checked comics.org and it doesn't provide any info.

I spent a great deal of time checking this out when I visited Dave a few years back - great page

Just lovely drawing and ink work, with a healthy dose of serious style!
