GH: DAREDEVIL #193

For the past couple of years, DAREDEVIL had been one of the best and strongest titles in the industry, mainly under the guiding hand of writer/penciler Frank Miller. Miller completely shifted the emphasis and the tone of the series, making it into much more a crime noir book, and being inventive with his storytelling and page layouts. But the final year of his run had been tapering off. It felt…

Happy birthday to the legendary Frank Miller! What’s your favorite Frank Miller story?!

Lol! As much as we constantly criticize Frank Miller for his “all women are wh*res” style of writing, it appears even at the beginning of his career Franky-Boy was at least willing to indulge in some male fan-service for the ladies considering this is the first time the Kingpin appears on panel in his groundbreaking Daredevil run!

Seriously, Miller just loved featuring several scenes of Kingpin wearing nothing but an ultra-thin speedo while working out in his private gym! This is especially evident all throughout Daredevil: Born Again storyline in particular!

And I won’t complain there since if we’re gonna have pointless fan-service in comics, we might as well at least make it equal opportunities…

Hi! Had a kinda weird question, but is it ever mentioned how Matt paid for his education or any student loans?

Hi! This has been touched on a few times, yes. One good source of information is Daredevil volume 3 #12, in which Matt tells a story from his early days rooming with Foggy at Columbia.

Matt: "[Being the teacher's pet] wasn't enough to float me out of a hell of student-grant bureaucracy. Unlike Foggy, I was eternally one step ahead of the bursar's office." Daredevil vol. 3 #12 by Mark Waid, Chris Samnee, Javier Rodriguez, and Joe Caramagna

This story takes place in law school and doesn't mention Matt's undergrad experience, but we learn that he was receiving financial aid (which seems believable for a high-achieving disabled student from a single-parent, low-income household; the Battlin' Jack Murdock mini-series also mentions that Matt was on a scholarship, implied to be tied to his disabled status), but was still struggling to pay (also unsurprising; Jack was still alive at this point, but it's hard to say how much money he was making). By the end of the story, Matt reveals that Foggy's well-to-do family stepped in at a certain point and helped keep him afloat until graduation (also unsurprising; Foggy's parents also financed the first Nelson & Murdock office).

Another thing to keep in mind about Matt's college experience is that the continuity changed in the early 80s. He wasn't always a Columbia grad; originally, he and Foggy attended the vaguely-named State College in upstate New York, and one of the reasons Matt picked that school was because it was affordable.

Daredevil vol. 1 #-1 by Joe Kelly, Gene Colan, Christie Scheele, Matt Ryan, and Richard Starkings

At this point, the only concrete thing we know about Matt's financial situation is that the money was coming from his father. The main reason Jack kept boxing past his prime, and the main reason he settled for signing on with the corrupt manager who eventually murdered him, was to afford Matt's college education.

Daredevil vol. 1 #1 by Stan Lee, Bill Everett, and Sam Rosen

With the shift to a much more prestigious and expensive alma mater, with the cost of college having skyrocketed since 1964, and with the sliding timescale to take into account, it has definitely become harder to believe that Jack's boxing earnings would have been enough to pay for more than a semester-or-two. It wouldn't surprise me at all if some future retelling of Matt's origin at least put him in a work study program of some kind to make some extra cash.

As far as loans are concerned, I think a lot of people tend to forget that Nelson & Murdock were/are a very well-known and successful law firm. They've had their low points, sure, but there are plenty of key periods in their careers when they were making a ton of money. The Bendis/Maleev run (in which Matt is a high-profile public figure and goes to court wearing $2,000 suits) is an easy example, but we can look much earlier than that too. Matt is referred to as "one of the finest trial lawyers in the nation" as early as Daredevil volume 1 #20, and check out his swanky, tricked-out Sutton Place brownstone:

Daredevil vol. 1 #167 by David Michelinie, Frank Miller, Klaus Janson, Glynis Wein, and Joe Rosen

Given this, I tend to think that Matt hasn't had too much trouble paying off his loans.

Thanks for the great question!

Wood Engraving Wednesday

LINDA HOLMES

Presented here are five original wood engravings by English engraver Linda Holmes (1950-2015) created as illustrations for a translation of a monologue entitled My Justification by the 17th-century Transylvanian Hungarian type designer, punchcutter, printer, and Hungarian patriot Totfalusi Kis Miklos (known in English-speaking countries as Nicholas Kis, 1650-1702). The text and blocks for the translation were printed by British designer Colin Banks (1932-2002) and inserted between pages 112 and 113 in Matrix 13 (Winter 1993), printed at the John and Rosalind Randle’s Whittington Press in Risbury, Herefordshire, England.

Kis was trained in Amsterdam by punchcutter Dirk Voskens (who likely cut many of the punches for the Fell types). Kis became one of the leading punchcutters of his time before returning to Hungarian Transylvania to print bibles. His Roman fonts were purchased and used by Anton Janson, which led some to believe that they were his creation rather than Kis's. The so-called Janson typefaces recut in the 20th century are so-named because of this confusion. Kis felt beleaguered in his own time and thus wrote this monologue in his frustration.

Wood engraver Linda Holmes originally worked as a journalist for the BBC. In 1985, she and her husband, BBC journalist David Holmes, retired from London to Walpole, in Suffolk. In 1989, Holmes attended Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts (now Camberwell College of Arts) to study wood engraving under Simon Brett and Yvonne Skargon. Holmes enjoyed a 25-year career as both a wood engraver and a painter until her death from pancreatic cancer at the age of 65.
