Justice is blind, and so is the Daredevil #1 Blind Bag. Marvel is celebrating the latest volume of Man Without Fear’s ongoing series — by Stephanie Phillips and Lee Garbett — in April with variants and hand-drawn sketch covers in the Daredevil #1 True Believers Blind Bags. Daredevil #1 sees Matt Murdock take on the dangerous streets of Hell’s Kitchen, taking on a new role as a law professor and dealing with a new supervillain named Omen.
“I’m taking on one of my favorite characters with one of my favorite artists, and together we’re exploring Daredevil’s noir sensibilities,” Phillips said in a statement. “Lee Garbett brings so much style and emotion to every page, and I couldn’t ask for a better partner to bring this version of Daredevil to life.”
Here’s a rundown of the variant covers and the official solicitation text for the first issue:
YOU CAN BURY THE BODIES, BUT NEVER THE GHOSTS! Hell’s Kitchen is full of secrets—but no secret stays buried for long! As a fearsome new super villain named Omen has targeted Matt Murdock, it will be his alter-ego Daredevil who takes the hits! But beware! This mysterious new player isn’t all that they appear—a secret Daredevil will have to learn quickly as he scrambles to settle into a life and status-quo we’ve never seen him in before!
Daredevil #1 covers include a main cover by series artist Lee Garbett and variant covers by Rose Besch, Alex Maleev, Dan Panosian, Gabriele Dell’Otto, Joe Quesada, Greg Land, and Peach Momoko. A special Bicentennial Calendar Hidden Gem Cover by Sal Buscema, a Marvel Television Variant Cover spotlighting Muse by Marvel Studios Visual Development artist Jackson Sze, and a Foil Variant Cover by Ryan Stegman are also available. Fans can also purchase a blank variant cover. All of these will be available in the Daredevil #1 True Believers Blind Bags; they can also contain special exclusive covers, including a Marvel Rivals Variant Cover by NetEase Games and surprise original sketch covers from Mike Hawthorne, Justin Mason, Mike Henderson, Dan Panosian, Alex Maleev, Greg Land, Mark Bagley, and Bill Sienkiewicz.
“I couldn’t be more excited to be working with Stephanie Phillips on Daredevil (2026),” Garbett added. “We came into the project together, with a genuine love of the character and a clear vision for the book. Steph is an incredible writer and has absolutely nailed the tone and heart of Daredevil’s world. Every beat feels authentic and DD at its purest, but we’ve got fresh ideas and some big surprises in store!”
This is Marvel’s second comic book to be available in True Believer Blind Bags, following last month’s Ultimate Endgame #1, which had surprise sketches signed by Robert Downey Jr. and Kevin Feige.
