Daredevil: Yellow

"The measure of a man is not in how he gets knocked to the mat. It is in how he gets up."

Those are the words blind attorney Matthew Murdock's father lived and died by.

Prizefighter Battlin' Jack Murdock's murder set into motion a chain of events that exploded with a new super hero swinging out of New York City's Hell's Kitchen —

— the blind acrobat Daredevil.

In this retelling of the early career of the Man Without Fear, the Eisner Award-winning team of Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale (Superman For All Seasons, Batman: The Long Halloween) have taken an inspiring action-adventure story and blended it with a romantic comedy.

The result, highlighted by Sale's dazzling ink washes and Matt Hollingsworth's spectacular color, is the heartwarming and heartbreaking story of two young people in love — Matthew Murdock and Karen Page.

Included in this hardbound edition is a special sketchbook section of Sale's original artwork, and an introduction by Daredevil creator and comic-book legend Stan "The Man" Lee.

"On some of the full-page splashes, you'll think you're looking at an art book....But it's still the story that takes the show. Daredevil has had a lot of good ones lately....For a character that was all but written off a few years ago, it's been a heck of a comeback. Daredevil: Yellow is a great addition to the collection." Augie De Blieck Jr., "Pipeline," ComicBookResources.com

"Sale and Hollingsworth's artwork is beautiful on the comics page, but it is jaw-dropping on these...pages, and the story plays out much better in one collection than it did in serial format....[A] stunning accomplishment..." Randy Lander, TheFourthRail.com
