Visionary geniuses Frank Miller (The Dark Knight Returns, Sin City) and John Romita Jr. (Uncanny X-Men, Amazing Spider-Man) bring you the definitive Daredevil origin story that redefined the character and created a new benchmark in graphic storytelling.
Read the definitive origin of Daredevil ahead of the premiere of Daredevil: Born Again, releasing March 2025 on Disney+.
Matt Murdock was raised by a single father, an over-the-hill prizefighter with one last chance to make it good – a chance that cost him his life. Taunted and tormented by children while growing up, Matt’s life was irrevocably altered after he was blinded by radioactive materials while saving the life of an old man. The payoff? An unbreakable will and a keen intelligence, helping focus the super-senses he was blessed with during the accident. His story is one of love, pain, disappointment, and strength.

Story
This is the definitive Daredevil story, where Matt Murdock is stripped of everything. In this powerful tale, visionary creators Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli re-forge Daredevil as a hero reborn, driven by pure faith and unshakable resolve. Daredevil’s greatest enemy is now the city’s newly elected mayor! Matt Murdock has the law and his incredible abilities in his arsenal — but Fisk has an entire city on his side. And a new player joins the fray: the psychopathic murder artist Muse! Loeb and Sale are one of the most acclaimed duos in comics, and their emotionally stirring work on Daredevil brings new depth to the Man Without Fear! Witness the birth of Daredevil as a young Murdock trains his body and mind to become a hero! After a brush with death, Matt Murdock must piece together his shattered life – and that includes returning to action as Daredevil! But years of trauma have taken their toll, and becoming the guardian of Hell’s Kitchen he once was won’t be easy. Taunted while growing up, Matt Murdock’s life was irrevocably altered after he was blinded by radioactive materials while saving the life of an old man. The payoff? Heightened senses and a radar ability making him Daredevil!

Great reading
As a daredevil fan, I loved this. It has drama, action and set piece moments that had me excitedly flipping the pages. Loved the artwork too, thereâs a reason this book is considered a classic. If youâre daredevil fan, or getting into the character: do not miss!

THIS is what all the hype is about
Every few years, we have to have a new telling of a hero’s origin story. Sometimes the hero has been around so long that it’s worth updating to make the character’s origin in line with changes in technology and society; sometimes the character himself is given a different background to reach new audiences; sometimes a movie portrayal creates new interest in the character; usually, it feels like an attempted cash grab for the publisher, and sometimes even a minor betrayal of long time fans.Daredevil has seen his own share of revisited origin stories. I’ve only gotten into the character in the past few years, I’ve loved his adventures, but reading his early exploits, back in Daredevil #1, you have to wonder what happened to make Daredevil one of Marvel’s most enduring characters. It was tough to get too excited about Daredevil taking on the Purple Man, or Stiltman(!), or even Namor. Daredevil: Yellow was my favorite retelling of the Daredevil origin, focusing more on the character than his abilities, mostly sweet but hinting at tragedies to come.Then I read Frank Miller’s take.I had read and enjoyed other Frank Miller Daredevil stories, but The Man Without Fear is a tour de force, writer and artist collaborating to give a legendary character an iconic beginning. The basic story is familiar: son of Battlin’ Jack Murdock, blinded in a tragic accident, loses his father when Jack refuses to take a fall for the gamblers, goes to law school, fights for justice day and night (mostly night).So what makes this story special? I suppose, since he was working with an established character, Miller could cut out the cheese that dominated the first issues, could draw connections to the characters who would be most important in Matt Murdock’s epic. Of course Foggy is there, though they Don meet until college; college also brings Elektra into Matt’s life, for better or worse. Stick readies Matt to become Daredevil, but questions his usefulness; Kingpin is pulling all the strings behind the scenes, and is no conflicted bad guy – Kingpin is ruthless, merciless, a character who would make Don Corleone nervous. And it is the confrontation with this pure evil that forces Matt to finally become the protector of Hell’s Kitchen.Like I said, it’s a familiar story – but you’ve never seen it like this. Miller and Romita remake the template – this is the style the current series adopted, the gritty realism that would change everything in comics. Daredevil is the hero for the underdog, the blind man who can do things few superheroes manage. There are no “powers,” though, no radiation that gave young Matt a “radar sense” as an informal power; Miller’s Daredevil is the result of a boy refusing to accept his blindness as a limitation, who enhances his other senses through intense training until he has a vision of the world that exceeds those who allow their sight to define a more limited world.So if you’ve ever wondered, “Why Daredevil?”, pick up The Man Without Fear, and answer the question for yourself.

Some of Millar’s best work
Bold title, I know, given TDKR, TDK:SA, Ronin, and countless others, but The Man Without Fear is just that. Maybe his best work. The detail in the artwork makes you feel as if you’re in the hazy streets of Hell’s Kitchen, leaping across rooftops, and smashing skulls with your own fists. It’s gritty and puts you right in the thick of it. The classic tale of Daredevil is told fantastically well, and I can’t recommend this to you highly enough

The birth of a legend
The Man Without Fear is definitely a great read and a great way to be introduced to Daredevil. Frank Miller’s origin tale of this classic character is packed with depth, grit, emotion and clarity. This is perfect for those familiar with this character and for those just discovering him. It also makes the new Daredevil series on Netflix a lot more entertaining. I highly recommend this book!

DD origin story 1993.
One of the Best revamped Marvel origin story’s based on Hell’s Kitchens Man Without Fear, Wish back in the 90’s we could’ve done this type of origin Revamp for the Avengers Capt America and Hawkeye as well as street level Vigilante’s Iron-Fist, MoonKnight and White Tiger.

If you want to start reading Daredevil, this is an amazing place to start.
Daredevil: The Man Without Fear covers the extensive origin story of Marvel’s Daredevil written by Frank Miller. To put it bluntly, this comic is amazing. It is one of the most well-written comics I have ever read. Every page is filled with so much detail; in both the beautiful art and narrative. This, along with Batman: Year One and The Dark Knight Returns, is where Frank Miller truly shines. If you are a fan of comics, get this comic. If you want to start reading Daredevil, this is a great place to start. I would highly, highly recommend this comic.WARNING: While this comic is amazing, it does ONLY cover the origin story. It’s still definitely worth getting, but don’t expect any more than the origin.

Truly a spectacular comic. Must have for all DD fans. Romitas Jr art here is very good too works perfectly with the story.
ANASTASIOS DIMITRIADIS –
In this gripping narrative, Frank Miller and John Romita Jr. masterfully explore Daredevilâs transformation. The artwork vividly captures Hellâs Kitchen, where Daredevil battles criminals and inner demons. Millerâs film noir sensibilities infuse the pages with intensity, while Romita Jr.’s dynamic panels enhance the experience.Mattâs upbringing, his fatherâs sacrifice, and the burden of being the âMan Without Fearâ resonate deeply. We witness his evolution from a tormented young man to a masked vigilante who fights for justice.The comic offers fresh insights into Daredevilâs character, making it essential for fans. Prepare to be enthralled by Hellâs Kitchenâs guardian.You can find also some references to season 3 DD Netflix. Definetely recommended.

à praticamente o ” Batman ano um” do Demolidor. Uma história muito boa e a arte do Romitinha, além de ser ótima, combina demais com a história do Miller.
