Where it came from
Published in August 1981, Daredevil #173 stands as a pivotal chapter during the acclaimed run by writer and artist Frank Miller. This issue specifically features the conclusion of the 'Child’s Play' story arc, a gritty narrative that explored themes of drug addiction and juvenile delinquency in Hell's Kitchen. It is widely regarded for its social commentary, which marked a departure from more conventional superhero tropes of the era.
The issue is particularly noted for its cover art and internal layouts, which further cemented Miller's signature noir-influenced style. By this point in his tenure, Miller had successfully transformed Daredevil from a swashbuckling adventurer into a darker, more psychological character, a stylistic shift that was met with immense critical praise and helped secure the series' status as a cornerstone of Marvel's mature-leaning storytelling.
