Blind Dates and Broken Hearts: The Tragic Loves of Matthew Murdock (original) (raw)

The Tragic Loves of Matthew Murdock

Daredevil is perhaps the one super-hero not defined by his villains so much as his loves. His major love affairs — Elektra, Karen Page, Typhoid Mary, the Black Widow, Milla Donovan — tend to end badly, often in murder, insanity, and betrayal. They define periods of his life, but they also define this character, who became a super-hero both to earn and to escape his father’s love. In this short book, Ryan K. Lindsay offers a new lens through which to see Matt Murdock’s troubled history and tormented psyche.

The contents of this book are included in The Devil is in the Details: Examining Matt Murdock and Daredevil.
