Marvel's new Daredevil comic series has been warmly received by fans of the iconic superhero. Stephanie Phillips and Lee Garbett's reimagining of Stan Lee and Bill Everett's 'man without fear' has a gritty and highly grounded, noir-inspired tone and bold new elements, including a fresh status quo, with Matt Murdock now a law professor at Empire State University.
While the series honours Daredevil's rich heritage, Lee, a British artist from the West Midlands, says Marvel gave him total liberty to craft a new artistic vision. I caught up with him ahead of his appearance at MCM Comic Con London this coming weekend to learn more about reviving this much-loved classic as well as his own evolution as an artist and what he recommends for those pursuing a career in comics.
