Notes & Trivia[]
- The character of Daredevil was created by writer Stan Lee and artist Bill Everett. He first appeared in Daredevil #1 in April, 1964.
- The tagline to this issue is "Night of the Gael!"
- Colorist George Roussos is credited as G. Roussos in this issue.
- This is the first appearance of Glorianna O'Breen. She will soon become a regular supporting character in the series.
- This issue is chock full of every Irish cultural stereotype one can think of including referring to a women as a "lass" and a "wee girl", and referring to Daredevil as "Boyo". The Gael leaves a paper shamrock with his victims as his calling card. The only thing missing is a pint of Guinness and a drunk Leprechaun.
