etanick Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 It has been a slow year...not much going on so I decided to load a few scans. Nothing new, just stuff I have for years that I never posted... and this is the best raw DD I have. If I was to ever collect a theme, it will be cover with Dr. Doom.

rob_react Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Been a very, long time coming. I'm pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty PSYCHED!! I was holding it yesterday morning while having a cup of coffee and honestly, I just stared at it and smiled for about ten minutes. One of the nicest mornings I have had in a good while. I owe it ALL to Mr. Vintagecomics......the artist formerly known as Roy. Thank-you so very, very much Roy, I love it Mandinga!! I go away for a few weeks and this thing shows up.

rob_react Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Personally I've won just one book in the past few weeks. I don't have a great scan, but I grabbed that Western Penn #32 on eBay a few weeks ago. I've got 16 WP copies now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomUga Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I just started reading Daredevil from #1, enjoying the hell out of it! I am also thinking of collecting Daredevil Keys. I recently bought a copy of DD #1. Can you guys make a list of Daredevil Keys or "must have issues". Please post or PM me. I would like to start the hunt. Thanks a bunch!

Dom Daredevil 7 is a key (red costume). And I'll shamelessly plug Daredevil 16 as a key or at least semi-key as it is a Spiderman crossover with the first artwork of John Romita on Spiderman.

rodan57 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Currently, the word, "key", usually means a book that is popular and expensive. Comic book series of hundreds of issues have keys because runs are hard or expensive to assemble or the story or mythos of the character tends to become repetitive or directionless after decades of writing/drawing. First issues, iconic covers, and introductions of important characters/villains are the most recognizable type of keys.* Therefore for DD, #1 and #7 are the two traditional keys. Throw in the early Romita Spider-Man issues, #16 and #17, and you will have a collection of four issues with which not many will argue. If you want more from the Silver Age DD series, you might approach it from a literary/artistic perspective and ask yourself which books are important to the DD mythos or story. You would be personally defining the series by: writer; artist; character introduction and development; and plot direction. For example, you could pick up a book and explain why it is important according to one or more of these criteria. This particular approach would mean many of the early books will be important, with the number selected becoming less and less as the series becomes more established. Such a collection could easily contain 20-25 of the first 100 books. *though first issues and covers have become more important as less collectors are interested in reading the interiors due to slabbing or quality of the story.
