Gene Colan and Dan Adkins - Original Title Splash art to DAREDEVIL # 42 (Marvel, 1968).
The first-ever appearance of the deadly Jester, one of Daredevil's best villains, in this awesome title splash: "Nobody Laughs at The Jester!". The Jester is the best Daredevil villain to be created during Colan's long run on this book.
The artwork is in very good condition, image area is clean and bright, all lettering is hand-drawn. Oversized art measuring 13.5" x 20" inches.
Gene Colan (born 1926) is one of the most revered comic artists of the twentieth century. Gene Colan's outstanding use of light and shade is arguably without equal in comics. His work takes on a cinematic quality, due to the many great film directors Colan has been influenced by. For me, Colan is THE definitive Daredevil artist, and no-one did Dr Strange or Iron Man better either. And let's not forget his superb work on Tomb of Dracula and Howard the Duck.
