Without Fear

My book of analytical essays about Daredevil is now officially available on Amazon in all its mammoth glory. It’s $16 and contains 16 essays, so that’s pretty cool. It takes a variety of approaches at looking into the world of Matt Murdock. Some of these essays are intense and some are pretty hilarious. All are must read experiences.

‘The Only Way Is Down: Brubaker’s Saga as 70s Cinematic Noir’ by Ryan K Lindsay analyses the Brubaker/Lark/Gaudiano run against the cinematic noir cornerstones of the 70s.

I could not be more proud of the book as its editor but also could not be more excited by its existence as a Daredevil fan.

Enjoy.
