Mazzucchelli, David - Daredevil #208 p.02

This original page from Daredevil #208 (1984) features the highly coveted pencils of David Mazzucchelli , nicely embellished by Danny Bulanadi, with the legendary Harlan Ellison (alongside Arthur Byron Cover) crafting the thrilling storyline. Pages from this two-part “Deadliest Night of My Life” arc command a solid premium over pages from other Bulanadi inked issues, and it’s no surprise when you see the excitement on display here!

The first panel immediately grabs your attention with Daredevil’s signature radar sense, with those distinctive concentric circles that fans love, delivering a striking, graphic visual! In fact, the Man Without Fear appears in all nine panels, giving this page an extra layer of collectibility for those who value maximum hero presence. The sequence unfolds as a seemingly innocent young girl pleads with Daredevil to save her mother, only to lead him into a basement trap that marks the start of one of the most perilous nights of his life. Mazzucchelli’s knack for dramatic composition pairs perfectly with Bulanadi’s clean, confident inks, bringing both the tension and Daredevil’s trademark athleticism to the forefront.

Whether you’re drawn by the rare radar sense imagery, the beloved Mazzucchelli run in general, or the Harlan Ellison-penned storyline, this page stands out as a prime slice of Daredevil history, one that’s sure to enhance any serious original art collection.
