 t the center of the web of deceit and corruption squats the spider — bloated on
the blood of his victims. His movements may be slow and nearly hypnotic as he
spins additional strands, or blindingly fast when a victim is entrapped. And this spider
revels in the agony of its prey, in their frantic and futile attempts at escape as he
ultimately descends on them to drain their life away.

| believe that arachnidian analogy holds when | think about the Kingpin, the villain of
our piece. Consider his brooding, overwhelming presence as you read this powerful
little collection. He has no costume, no super powers, yet a more chilling vision of the
malign | can't imagine. Here is a creature of such unspeakable evil that his supreme
pleasure is in the meticulous destruction of the one good man he has ever known -
Matthew Murdock — the hero of our piece.

| say Murdock is our hero — and not Daredevil, his айег-едо — because in this
brilliantly told sequence of stories, the Kingpin strips away everything from this good
and honorable man: his home; his job; his friends; his identity; his very sanity. But
the core of him remains. The fighter. The man who will not surrender or die. The Man
Without Fear!

In this larger-than-life theater, the forces of corruption and redemption have at one
another with Wagnerian intensity that rivals the very best this medium has ever
produced. At stake — one's immortal, indestructible soul.

Presenting this mind-stunning excursion are Messrs. Frank Miller andDavid Mazzucchelli.
If ever two people were born to collaborate, these gentlemen are it. As editor of this
series, | was privileged to watch the growth of artist Mazzucchelli as he gave visual
birth to the innumerable ideas he and Frank has concocted. David's evocative, singular
style perfectly complemented the tight, explosive scripting of his co-creator. Of course, it
was a pleasure to watch Frank Miller return to the book he'd cut his artistic eyeteeth on
several years ago, and surpass even that incredible, initial effort.

And so we're presenting this beautiful "Born Again" series. We're proud if it and the
people who created it. Everyone — and | mean everyone — connected with these
eight issues worked himself silly to provide you people with the best entertainment we
could. Any why not — you're family

One final thing. Next time, remind me to tell you about the time | playfully grabbed
Frank Miller's portfolio from him in the middle of Park Avenue and ran off down the
block just for laughs. Clipped me with that billy club before | got ten steps.

Enjoy,
Ralph Macchio

Side APARTMENT BUILPING. The
LIVE one was on tne ВООЕ stripped
NAKED and suffering From
multiple CONTUSIONS.
Turns out he's a certified LUNATIC.
The РОСТОК who arranged For his

As a GARDENER.
Two of the DEAD ones were known
CRIMINALS. Both had previously
Served PRISON terms. One, in fact,
FELIX MANNING by пате was still
on PAROLE.
Their CORPSES and their EMPLOY-
MENT RECORDS have sparked an
INVESTIGATION that will Keep the
Kingpin’s ATTORNEYS busy for
MONTHS.

The other two were officers

SPANNER and TRUMBULL of the
New York City POLICE. They leave
a husband, a wife, and four
Kids behind to wonder WHY.

Two MORE were apprehended

MICHAEL KEMP, а three time
LOSER. The other, PAULO
SCORCESE, faces several LIFE
SENTENCES for oukstandin
convictions o£ ARMED ROBB Å

The definitive Daredevil tale, by industry legends Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli! Karen Page,
Matt Murdock’s former lover, has traded away the Man Without Fear’s secret identity for a drug fix.
Now, Daredevil must find strength as the Kingpin of Crime wastes no time taking him down as low
as a human can get.
Collecting Daredevil #226-233. From Frank Miller, the multiple Eisner Award-
winning creator of Batman: The Dark Knight
Returns, Batman: Year One, Sin City and 300.
