As most anyone who knows me well can attest, few characters at Marvel have been as important to me as Daredevil. Truth be told, I probably wouldn’t be here if not for ol’ Horn Head. As each day gets uscloser to the debut of his very own series on Netflix, and regardless of how
intimately involved I’ve been with the project, with each trailer and marketing
tease released, I’m no different than every other Marvel True Believer… April 10^th can’t get here
fast enough.

In fact today marks 30 Days To
Marvel’s Daredevil and I thought what better way to help the time go
by than to go through my old archives and post some little seen Daredevil
pencil art from days gone by. So if you’re like me and your itching for April
10^th to get here to see Matt Murdock kick some butt
in Hell’s Kitchen, check in on my Twitter, Facebook or Tumblr accounts every
day over the next 30 days for a little DD Marvel Comics love, some insights and
maybe a surprise or two.

Today’s image:  Pages 8 and 9 from
Daredevil #1, Vol. 2, November of 1998, Guardian Devil: Part 1, written by my
beloved “Fatman” Kevin Smith. This was the first time Matt appears in costume
in the series and only the second time I ever drew the character (stage fright anyone?). In this one shot I was hoping to let Marvel readers know that
they were in for a fun ride and that I was going to do my best not to screw the
pooch. I was also hoping to capture in one moment everything that I loved about the character from his ballet like gymnastics, to his faith, to what
I think is one of the most perfect costume in comics.
