Silver and Gold: "Divided Daredevil" (p.61-66) by Peter Sanderson
Sanderson writes a very in depth and incisive look at Daredevil before Miller (focusing especially on Daredevil as written by Lee & illustrated by Romita and then Colan). He discusses Daredevil's origin, his motivations & personality, and the types of stories that Stan Lee, especially, wrote for this character. Sanderson shows great admiration for the character and Lee's handling of the character without taking anything away from the Miller interpretation that followed in later years.

The Law is a Ass: "Suborning perjury with ol' Hornhead" (p.40-41) by Bob Ingersoll
Ingersoll, a Cleveland lawyer, lets us know that Daredevil, like LA Law, Law & Order, and numerous other TV legal shows, has a LOT to answer for compared to law in the real world. In addition to the usual mistakes that writers make in procedure, dialog, etc., Ingersoll points out that ol' Matt Murdock makes some very big ethical no nos as well! This article concentrates on issue #20 and the wrongful dismissal suit that Matt is involved in. However, Ingersoll hints about even worse lawyering that is coming up in the following issues of Gale's story arc.

The Law is a Ass: "Serving notice on Daredevil" (p.36) by Bob Ingersoll
Ingersoll, a Cleveland lawyer who writes for the CBG, continues his analysis of Bob Gale's story arc in Daredevil #20-25 (vol.2). This time he concentrates on the antics of the Jester "serving" Daredevil, and the inadequacies of Daredevil's lawyer who apparently can't tell the difference between civil & criminal cases, and doesn't even realize what Daredevil's best defense is. At least in this article, Ingersoll directed some of the spotlight on folks other than Matt.

In this last installment of Ingersoll's critique of the legalities (or should I say "illegalities") of Bob Gale's Daredevil #20-25, Ingersoll points out that Daredevil's use of multiple "Daredevil"s is just plain fraud, Hillman (the unexpected DD) was just a bad story fix, and the Ringmaster's revelation was both stupid and criminal.

"Daredevil (The man Without Peer...)" (pgs.50-55) by Andrew Colman & Stephanie Gray
This article is really a combination of three articles in one, which works surprisingly well considering the potential for confusion, although it is still a little distracting at times. The main article carries the subtitle "Four Decades of Streetfighting". It's a fair attempt at a summary of Daredevil's backstory and the history of the comic to try to bring the uninitiated up to speed. Interspersed on these pages are large boxes with white outlines spotlighting different folks involved in the movie: Johnson (director), Affleck, Garner, Farrell, Duncan along with some stills of each of the actors/actresses. The third article is made up of a thin margin column along the right side of each page highlighting "key" Daredevil issues over the decades & showing the cover for each one.

"Last Man Standing - Batman vs. Daredevil" (p.38-39) by Wizard Staff; art: Graham Nolan
article gives edge to Batman over the "faster, more agile Daredevil" as Bats will figure out DD's blindness & overwhelm his remaining senses... I don't think so! :) (Note: art on left is from the article, there is no DD on the cover of this issue).

"Report Card: Daredevil, Not daring enough" (p.125) by Wizard editors
The Wizard editors review Daredevil #368-375. While the reviewers loved the characters & some of the story telling, they thought the plots fell a bit short, and the ever-changing artists (especially on the #375 fiasco) really distracted from what could have been much better stuff. Their grade: C+

Will Murray puts together an admirable synopsis of the creative teams and how they portrayed the character Daredevil over a period of almost 40 years.
