The most valuable Daredevil keys

Daredevil #1 (1964) leads by a wide margin — the first appearance of Daredevil (Matt Murdock). Early issues follow, including #7 (1965), which debuts his iconic red costume, and #4 (1964), the first Purple Man.

The Frank Miller era brings two cornerstone modern keys: #131 (1976) is the first appearance of Bullseye, and #168 (1981) the first Elektra — both kept in demand by film and television.

Scarce mid-60s issues round out the list, from #3 and #5 to #8, #9, and #18.

What makes a Daredevil comic valuable

Daredevil value combines his scarce Silver Age debut with the Frank Miller run’s landmark first appearances. Bullseye and Elektra are cornerstone modern keys, and Daredevil’s screen popularity keeps demand strong across the run.

Condition is decisive, especially for the 1960s issues. Raw Near Mint (9.4) is the benchmark shown here; professionally graded (CGC) copies of the top keys command large premiums over raw.
