No, NOT THAT Daredevil... the ORIGINAL Daredevil, a very popular character from the 40's, from Lev Gleason Publications. It has often been suggested (that this wise cracking acrobat hero was very much the prototype not only for Marvel's early Daredevil but Spiderman as well. Not that it matters much because this Daredevil (Bart Hill) is free! That's right, this great hero and villain are public domain so anyone is free to use them in their own works, a factor which has kept this guy alive and well, sporatically used by several different publishers. Bart Hill (Daredevil) had been raised in Austrialian Outback by Aborigines and used his combat and acrobatic skills to fight crime. He also employed his own metal boomerangs as weapons of choice. The villain, the Claw had been around since '39, originally the enemy of the Silver Streak (a superspeed type character), the book's title hero. Daredevil was a back up feature however starting with Daredevil's second appearance, Plastic Man creator Jack Cole would do a 5 issue run pitting DD against the Claw in an epic battle that would cement Daredevil's continued success. Still, the character is generally more closely associated with writer/artist Charles Biro and his terrific and successful 16 year run on the book!
