Daredevil #1 Launches Today with True Believers Blind Bag Covers from Charlie Cox, Frank Miller, and More

Marvel's Daredevil #1 by Stephanie Phillips and Lee Garbett arrives April 1 as the biggest Daredevil launch in Marvel history. The issue debuts in Marvel's new True Believers Blind Bag format featuring surprise variant covers from legendary creators and Daredevil: Born Again stars Charlie Cox and Jon Bernthal.

Daredevil #1 by acclaimed writer Stephanie Phillips (Phoenix) and superstar artist Lee Garbett (Death of Doctor Strange) is here, arriving on April 1 as one of the most anticipated Marvel Comics launches in recent memory. The issue also serves as the debut of Marvel's new True Believers Blind Bag format, making it the biggest Daredevil launch in Marvel history.

A New Era for the Man Without Fear

Following in the footsteps of legendary creative teams from the title's celebrated history, Phillips and Garbett are setting out to redefine Daredevil for a new generation of readers. The new run promises to build on the character's rich legacy while charting fresh territory for Matt Murdock.

The standard covers include a main cover by series artist Lee Garbett alongside variants from an impressive roster: Rose Besch, Alex Maleev, Dan Panosian, Gabriele Dell'Otto, Joe Quesada, Peach Momoko, Daniel Warren Johnson, Ryan Stegman (foil variant), and Greg Land (250th Homage variant), plus a Bicentennial Calendar Hidden Gem variant by Sal Buscema and a Marvel Television variant.

True Believers Blind Bag: Surprise Covers Inside

Each Daredevil True Believers Blind Bag contains one issue of Daredevil #1 with one of over a dozen possible covers. Some variants are exclusively available through the blind bag format, including virgin variants by Dan Panosian and Daniel Warren Johnson, a Marvel Rivals variant by NetEase Games, and rare exclusive covers from surprise contributors.

Among those surprise contributors are two names that will thrill fans of both the comics and the screen: legendary Daredevil writer and artist Frank Miller, whose 1980s run defined the character for decades, and actors Charlie Cox and Jon Bernthal, who reprised their roles as Matt Murdock and Frank Castle in the hit Disney+ series Daredevil: Born Again. The anticipation surrounding both the new comic run and the blind bag format have combined to make this the most commercially significant Daredevil debut Marvel has ever seen.

What This Means for Marvel Fans

The True Believers Blind Bag format represents a bold new direction for Marvel Comics retail, turning each purchase into a collectible experience. For Daredevil fans specifically, having Frank Miller contribute a variant cover alongside the Born Again cast creates a rare bridge between the character's most iconic comic era and his current television renaissance. Pick up Daredevil #1 at your local comic shop this week, or read digitally through the Marvel Unlimited app.
