Well, the idea that maybe a blind guy might not be the best fashionista didn't sink in, because it wasn't too much longer that Matt Murdock had to play the role of his completely-made-up identical twin brother Mike Murdock, goofy wastrel and plausible suspect for Daredevil's secret identity.
The only problem? "Mike" still had the color sense of a blind man...
Dude...what is it with you and the yellow?!?
Panels from Daredevil #1 (1964) and Daredevil #26 (1967)
P.S. Can we bring back Mike Murdock, Mr. Waid? Please...?
