Favorite telling of Ol' Hornhead's beginnings (his yellow-and-red suit days)?

The one where he was bitten by a radioactive cylinder and got the enhanced senses was the best one. Thanks.

I went with DD#1. Everything else is just derivative lipstick on a pig.

But, yes, they do manage to make the pig look pretty good in subsequent retellings.

I've been meaning to read the novelization of the Affleck movie. Curious to see if that take on the story works if it's divorced from the poor directorial choices.

It’s basically just a condensed version of the Elektra Saga with an origin flashback, right?

Why is it a pig? It's not drawn by Wally Wood, but there's nothing wrong with the first issue.

Besides, Ditko helped Bill Everett finish the art on DD 1.

My intention--and admittedly not well conceived nor executed nor even correct--was to refer to most (if not all) retellings,
revamps, and reboots as being akin to a pig with horrible makeup on it. But that indicates the source material is a pig,
and rather a plain-looking or pre-ugly one at that. That was not what I was trying for. Pigs don't require makeup to look
okay is all. Beyond that, I don't exactly hate the re-origins and make-up added over the years to the DD story.

I am still a big fan of DD #1, especially of the bull-pen-finished effort that went into getting the issue onto the stands.

And, as Marcus adds, I like that DItko was one of those Marvel staffers who stepped in to get the book out.
I don't expect that I will ever sell off my 500-issue collection of Daredevil, but, if I did, I would still try to maintain
the Ditko issues.
