Comic Books
Daredevil Born Again. That title strikes a chord with comic fans who know what it means. Fans who know that it represents two of the finest creators at the absolute peaks of their game.
David Mazzucchelli’s superhero work had reached an artistic apex when this series was released, and the same is true for Frank Miller’s writing. Together they combined to craft a story of extraordinary impact that is still regarded as a true masterpiece.
Collecting the entire storyline of Born Again, this book will feature the complete issues of Daredevil numbers 227-233, plus covers and extras.
Each page was personally scanned by Mazzucchelli from his own original art. This is the largest Artist’s Edition yet, weighing in at a rock solid 200 pages of beautiful Mazzucchelli art in the way you’ve always wanted to see it-the next bet thing to holding the actual original art!
This title collects Daredevil #227-233.

I got an e-mail last week that mine shipped out. I’m SO STOKED for this to come. It took some penny pinching and a lot of patience to make this happen, but it’s totally going to be worth it. IDW knows how to make a great collection, and this is one of my favorite DD stories of all time.
Is this already out of print before it’s even out or some mumbo jumbo like that?
It’s still available on IDW’s site.
Can’t wait … so excited!
I am so tempted to buy this. I have the Romita and Simonson books. I wonder if they’ll do a sketched premium version like with the Romita book.
As a proud owner of the Romita & Wally Wood editions I can say that these books are worth every cent – I WILL get this (somehow…..).
There is a signed limited edition of this available at SDCC. you can order on the IDW site and pick it up there. I have all of these. they are all awesome and i cant wait for this. While the art on all is amazing, this is probably the best story of all of them. i already have this in single issues, in the original trade, in the frank miller daredevil omnibus and now this. One of my favorites of all time.
as an aside there is a walt simonson Alien book coming from Titan books not idw:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1781161305/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER
while its probably not the same level of production, the premise is the same (all shot from original art) but its a bit cheaper and not as many pages as the idw ones
In the last few years I’ve bought quite a few absolutes and omnibi off the net. Like abstractgeek, Born Again is an alltime favourite I own in at least four different formats but when I saw this advertised i sighed, took a punt and pre-ordered this one as well, hoping that for the money it wouldn’t come bouncing around inside the box like some Amazon packages.
It arrived yesterday.
Full credit to IDW for the packaging (similar to an Absolute) – turned up in pristine condition.
The size and scale of these books has to be seen to be believed. Anyone that bought the Wednesday Comics hardcover from DC will find it comparable except this thing is way heavier thanks to the number of issues it contains.
This thing is a monster that just had me staring at it with glee (and i don’t use the word glee lightly!).
My joy literally doubled when i saw it was packaged with Wally Wood’s second print Artist’s Edition.
I’d hesitated buying any of the others due to the amount, but having seen Born Again, I’ll be looking forward to see which ones they do next.
