Wouldn't know. Don't buy Daredevil. Primarily because of the covers.

Actually I was referring to that fifties period. I have no idea what sells these days, I don't buy any "floppies."

And the forties/fifties Daredevil covers aren't dark.

Whatever, I think your theory is flawed. Whether or not someone liked the dark covers or detested them is simply too subjective. You detested them, I absolutely loved them. I would have bought them just for the covers.

I just can't picture a scenario where back in 1953, a couple of 10 year-olds were standing around at the local drug store saying: "Ya know, I'd really like to try those new Atlas issues with the Torch, Cap and Subby but, ya know, the covers are just too dark."

ATLAS ERA SUPERHERO REVIVAL OMNIBUS!
