Nico and Tori come to a huge Daredevil milestone – the first annual! The annual represented an opportunity for the title to get new readers with a lower number, a fact we know can affect jumping-on. At the same time, Daredevil (v9) kicked off with Phillips & Garbett’s debut issue, a new #1 to pull audiences in. The Daredevil Duo examine these two separate entry points into the character – Annual #1 in 1967 and the new volume 1 in 2026.

Nico & Tori talk about how it’s a slippery slope for Daredevil as Matt Murdock continues to slip further and further into his escapist personality. The duo checks out DD in 1966 - 1967 as the year saw Daredevil take huge steps towards becoming the title we know and creates some of the most memorable (if sometimes silly) stories.

Plus, the team examines the beloved six issue miniseries Daredevil: Yellow, which not only retells the first several issues but creates a beautiful context for these incredible characters which will change how the world sees the title forever.  Read along with Daredevil (Vol 1) #22 -25 & Amazing Spider-Man #43 from 1966 plus the incredible origin retelling of Daredevil: Yellow #1 - 6!
