A scared teenager on the run. An infant child some say is humanity's savior. A former lover hobbled by a terrible secret. A law partner accused of a horrible crime. A city overcome by an inscrutable menace. They need a guardian. Someone to protect them. Someone with faith in them. They need the Man Without Fear: Daredevil! \"Guardian Devil,\" the Marvel Knights imprint's very first offering, is a modern classic - one that saw Kevin Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy) confidently transition from writing acclaimed screenplays to comics that hit the top of sales charts and critics' lists. It also featured artist Joe Quesada at his peak, as the stylist who would usher Marvel Comics into the 21st century! And now Quesada's astonishing artwork looks better than ever on the oversized pages of a Gallery Edition! Collecting DAREDEVIL (1998) #1-8 and #1\/2.While   working at a convenience store in Leonardo, New Jersey, Kevin   Smith wrote and directed Clerks, a low-budget independent film financed in part by the sale of   his own comic-book collection. Clerks went on to become the surprise indie hit of 1994, grossing   more than $1 million and earning Smith a distribution deal with Miramax.   Since Clerks, Smith has   written and directed more than a half-dozen hit movies — including Chasing Amy, Mallrats, Jersey Girl, Dogma and Clerks 2. A lifelong comics fan, Smith jumped at the opportunity to   adapt his Clerks movie   characters into a comic-book series for Oni Press, writing Clerks: The Comic Book and a   four-issue Jay and Silent Bob miniseries. In 1998, Smith’s longtime friendship with newly   appointed Marvel Knights editors Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti led to his   critically acclaimed eight-issue run on Daredevil — garnering Smith a Wizard Fan Award, a Harvey Award and an   Eagle Award for Best Writer. Smith followed up his debut with a successful   revamp of the original Green Arrow for DC Comics in a story hailed as “exhilarating” by Entertainment Weekly. Smith also   scripted another famous Marvel icon with Spider-Man\/Black   Cat: The Evil That Men Do. Smith lives in the   Hollywood Hills with his wife, Jennifer, and daughter, Harley.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoe   Quesada became Marvel’s editor in chief in 2000,   instilling an excitement and buzz that had been lacking for years. He is now   Marvel’s chief creative officer. Quesada began as an artist at Valiant and DC   during the early 1990s and soon co-founded Event Comics, introducing original   characters Ash and Painkiller Jane. By 1998, Quesada’s reputation as both   artist and publisher led to the founding of Marvel’s groundbreaking Marvel   Knights imprint, with Quesada illustrating the flagship book, Daredevil. Marvel Knights’ critical   and sales success led to Quesada’s appointment as editor in chief. In   addition to overseeing Marvel’s creative output, Quesada remains an active   writer and artist on projects including the Daredevil:   Father miniseries and the Spider-Man “One More   Day” crossover.","brand":"Marvel Universe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46303824478437,"sku":"NP9781302950170","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781302950170.jpg?v=1730755465","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/daredevil-guardian-devil-gallery-editionisbn-9781302950170","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
