Description

We all have stories of the one that got away. In the case of Daredevil: Yellow, it's the project that got away.

For those who may be newer to Tim's work, or comic art in general, back in the day Tim was repped by Mitch Itkowitz at Graphic Collectibles. I bought my first Tim page from Mitch in 2001 along with countless others once I dove headfirst into the hobby a few years later.

If you're a newer Tim collector, you'd cry a little if I told you the number of pages that were just a mouse click away back then. It was the apex of Tim's career and you could lay your hands on pages from all his biggest projects; Long Halloween, Dark Victory, Superman For All Seasons, Spider-man: Blue, Hulk: Gray and, of course, Daredevil: Yellow. (I won't tell you the about the low prices. You'd bawl your eyes out.)

The hero pages were long gone, of course, but the number of pages highlighting Tim's phenomenal storytelling were endless. Which worked fine for me, as I have always been drawn to smaller, quieter moments and great sequential storytelling.

Yet, for a number of reasons, I never pulled the trigger on a Yellow page. Even though I love that book and thought about buying them countless times, some other shiny Tim bauble always caught my eye and sent my wallet in a different direction. And, like I said, there were SO many available. I figured I had plenty of time.

But, as we all know, there's never enough time. Other pages kept popping up. Then kids. And before I knew it, years had flown by and Yellow pages weren't available anymore. As a result, Yellow has always been the gaping hole in my Tim collection, and that hole grew into a chasm last year after he passed.

Fortunately, someone decided to auction off all of issue 2 on Heritage. Unfortunately, the first half was filled with splashy shots of Daredevil in costume that went for far more than I can afford. However, since the entire first half was up for sale at the same time, it stood to reason the back half of the issue would soon follow� which it did.

While there were quite a few DD pages in the back half, there were also a few non-DD pages I was quite fond of. So, I set trackers on the auctions and hoped against hope they would stay in a price range that would allow me to fill the hole in my collection.

To my great surprise, the first one I had my eye on stayed well below what I thought it would go for� and I won. I was elated, but didn't even have time to think before the next one I liked popped on screen and the bidding stayed low. Impulsively, I jumped in and won a second page. And then, before I knew it, I was pressing buttons and won a third!

If I'd had time to think, I may have stopped after the first one. I overspent last year and wanted to try and cut back in 2023. Thankfully I didn't, because these are amazing pages and I have ZERO regrets about the money.

Tim's storytelling really shines on this page. Holding the camera in the same place for panels two, three and four creates a marvelous juxtaposition between Foggy's experience with the different job applicants as the day wears on. What's more, Tim didn't take the easy way out and stat the panels. All three are hand drawn with different shades of wash to visually transition from morning to late afternoon. Even better, the setup here pays off on the next page, which I was fortunate to acquire together.

And the cherry on top is that beautiful vertical panel establishing shot. I love how the Nelson and Murdock sign peeks in at the bottom to reward the reader for traveling the length of the panel.

His ink wash is tremendous, without the colors the piece feels complete and fully realized.

This page is a wonderful piece of comedic story telling and the page I would have gone for if I did not already own a pair of pages from Daredevil Yellow.

Theres such raw talent on this page. Ink wash, the sun rising and subsequently setting between the first and last panels, and lets not forget the brick work in the first panel. Awesome!
