Article Summary

Daredevil #1 Fifth Printing is confirmed by Marvel, extending the title’s hot sellout streak and collector momentum.
Daredevil #2 gets a fourth printing, #3 a third, and #4 a second, echoing the early reprint pattern of Absolute Batman.
Marvel Television supplies the variant covers for Daredevil #1, #2, and #3, all scheduled to hit stores on August 26.
The big mystery is who drew the Marvel Television covers, while Lee Garbett handles Daredevil #4’s second printing cover.

Welcome to more Printwatch: I said that the newly launched Daredevil comic book series from Marvel Comics was starting to go the way that Absolute Batman did in its first few months, with Daredevil #1 by Stephanie Phillips and David Garbett getting a fifth printing, #2 a fourth, #3 a third, and #4 a second. Marvel Television is providing covers for the first three, out on the 26th of August, and Lee Garbett is doing the final one, for the 19th of August, alongside the first printing of Daredevil #5; the rest will be in comic shops the week after. Bleeding Cool now has the actual cover artwork, credited to Marvel Television. But who drew those Marvel Television covers? They are not saying… not yet anyway. Would abyone like to take the credit? I said it was going to be a big Printwatch day on Bleeding Cool, and it's playing out well…
