Emphasis on the Devil.
Daredevil has always been a character tinged with an element of horror, but a redesign from superstar artist Tim Sale turned him into the devil like never before. Stripping away the parts of his costume that made him look heroic, this was a Matt Murdock reimagined for the grim and gritty 1990s, a straight-up horror character, turning Matt Murdock into less a Daredevil, more an actual devil.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Appearing in issues of the mid-to-late 1990s magazine Marvel Vision: The Marvel Fan Magazine, before being collected in 1998’s Timeslip Collection #1, Marvel’s Timeslip pin-ups were a series of redesigns of classic Marvel characters, done by the most popular comics artists of the era.
Each entry includes both the pin-up and an imagined version of Stan Lee’s original pitch for the character, addressed to the contemporary artist.Tim Sale's Daredevil Design is Horror Perfection As redesigned by Tim Sale, Daredevil is given an amazing horror makeover, leaning more heavily into the character’s demonic imagery.
Daredevil has had Many Brushes with Horror Part of why the Timeslip Daredevil redesign works: there has always been an element of demonic horror to the modern version of Daredevil. From Blackheart, to Mephisto, to the Beast of the Hand, Matt Murdock has faced more than his share of actual demons in his time. Still, no creative team has ever embraced Murdock's own demonic aesthetic the way Tim Sale does here.
The other reason the redesign is so successful is because of what it asks about Matt Murdock himself. As a guilt-stricken Catholic, Matt has always felt uncomfortable using the visage of the devil to spread fear. By leaning even further into this aspect of his design, Sale’s costume paints a Matt Murdock whose internal conflicts are that much greater.
