Essential Daredevil, Vol. 1
by Stan Lee
A collection of Daredevil's first run by Stan Lee (#1 - #25). It's pretty kitschy with Lee's prose undeniably clunky and heavy-handed. Having every character explain the hows and whys of what they're doing is far from realistic. It reads like Adam West as Batman talks basically. In spite of that, there's some great ideas. Matt Murdock's predilection for playing defence attorney to characters he's gotten arrested as Daredevil is a fun play on his double identity and some key villains make appearances here, like Kilgrave of Jessica Jones fame. Other villains are harder to take seriously (The Matador, The Owl, frickin STILT MAN?!) but overall it's a fun introduction to a cornerstone of Marvel.
