Daredevil #18 (1966) Silver Age Key
This collectible Daredevil #18 is a superior VF (Very Fine) copy of a landmark Silver Age issue. Written by Stan Lee with iconic artwork by John Romita Sr., this story features the first appearance and origin of the Gladiator. As a costume designer who creates a deadly battle-suit to seek power, Melvin Potter remains a fan-favorite character who bridged the gap between campy villainy and the grittier, psychologically driven Daredevil stories of later decades.
