I'm trying to think of the guy who drew and inked Daredevil about 30 tears ago. His drawing style was deceptively easy, with many close ups and large black 'inked in' areas. He moved Daredevil into that territory as well.

But Mike Kaluta takes some beating for sinister....

And are you aware that there are many people reading these post who haven't a clue what we are on about and who would only describe us as sad! they don't understand...Our Superheroes Matter.

Tell you what - Islam wouldn't have gone bonkers over the cartoons if they had the Legion of Super Hero's to deal with....

I cannot think of the guy who originally drew Daredevil. I never liked his style. After about a dozen issues, Gene Colen took over the artwork. Is that the guy you are thinking of? He did it for several years. Than Barry Smith did a few issues. I was never a big DD fan though as a kid I bought all of the Marvel stuff. As a kid, the Marvel stuff I never warmed up to were Sub Mariner, Iron Man, Daredevil, and Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.E.I.L.D. Though the other day I was thinking about Nick Fury - because flipping through the channels that lame Fury movie was being shown - and I thought about the old comic. S.H.E.I.L.D. always fought against Hydra and terrorism, so for a comic from the sixties, it was way ahead of its time. The artis I remember from those old S.H.E.I.L.D. comics was a guy named Jim Steranko. At the time, I did not like the artwork but now I think its great.

Yes, you are right about people reading these posts from us. What I see wrong with comics today is taking the characters and changing their whole persona. You have Captain America doubting himself and thinking the terrorists have a point. BS! I remember Cap kicking the Red Skulls arse while pontificating that anyone who believe the generosity of the United States is weakness is deluding themselves! I even use old lines from comics I read back in the sixties. If someone grabs me roughly by the hand, I tell them - hey, that's my pizza eating hand! A no-prize if you can tell me who said that and to whom, what comic and issue number.
