“As It Was in the Beginning...”

In "As It Was in the Beginning...", Daredevil takes a haunting look back at the defining moments that shaped him. Written by Roy Thomas and Stan Lee, with moody, atmospheric art by Gene Colan and George Klein, this 1969 issue dives into Matt Murdock’s past with a quiet intensity. The cover by Colan and Klein captures the weight of memory in shadow and silhouette.
