History ComicBook / DaredevilYellow

* LighterAndSofter: Compared to most Daredevil stories, this miniseries is quite lighthearted, even though it's triggered by a major character's death. Matt noticeably smiles and cracks jokes rather often in the story, which makes sense since it takes place during his early years before any of the messed-up stuff with Kingpin, Bullseye, Elektra, or the Hand happened.

''Daredevil: Yellow'' is a re-telling of ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}'s origin story and early career as well as his budding relationship with Karen Page. The story is part of a ThematicSeries written by Creator/JephLoeb and illustrated by Tim Sale, which includes ''[[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk: Gray]]'', ''[[ComicBook/SpiderManBlue Spider-Man: Blue]]'', and ''[[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica Captain America: White]]''. Loeb and Sale are better known as the creative team behind ''Franchise/{{Batman}}: ComicBook/TheLongHalloween'' and ''ComicBook/SupermanForAllSeasons''. The title is an homage to Daredevil's original yellow costume, which he wears throughout most of the story.

* AffectionateNickname: In this story, Daredevil's title of [[SuperheroSobriquets the Man Without Fear]] is given to him by Karen after her saves her for the first time.

* ContinuitySnarl: As with many of Loeb's works, the miniseries contains quite few continuity errors:
** Jack Murdock is shot dead when Matt was in college, which is true to the original comics. However, ever since [[Creator/FrankMiller Frank Miller's]] landmark run on the title, Matt has been depicted as being only a child when Jack's bumped off.

* CueTheBilliardShot: We get this when Matt starts the game. Complete with an awesomely-ironic Helen Keller joke.

* FramingDevice: The whole story is framed as a series of letters written by the Man Without Fear himself to [[spoiler: his recently-killed girlfriend]] Karen Page.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: Matt and Foggy have been best friends since college days. Foggy is shown to greatly respect and admire (and is even quite a bit jealous of) Matt, and while he never vocalizes it, Matt thinks quite highly of Foggy as well.

* LighterAndSofter: Compared to most Daredevil stories, this miniseries is quite lighthearted, even though it's triggered by a major character's death. Matt noticeably smiles and cracks jokes rather often in the story, which makes sense since it takes place during his early years, before any of the messed-up stuff with Kingpin, Bullseye, Elektra, or the Hand happened.

* MrFanservice: Daredevil's body is so well-sculpted, when he saves a troupe of women performers they accost him and ask him if he has a girlfriend or wife. One of them even wishes her boyfriend had DD's muscles!

* NoSell: Apparently, the Purple Man's powers only work on you if you see him and his purple...ness. Daredevil muses that being blind (and thus color blind) protected him from the Purple Man's mind control, one of the few specific benefits to being blind.

* PaintingTheMedium: Everyone that gets mind-controlled by Killgrave gets painted purple.

--> '''Matt:''' I don't think I'd make a very good super hero, Karen. "Take that, villain! Say, did I hit ''you'' or was that the lamp?"

* WeWillMeetAgain: During his first confrontation with Daredevil, after getting beaten up the Owl flies away, even saying "He who lives to fight another day, and all that."

* TheSouthpaw: Jack Murdock was a lefty. Naturally, his strongest blows were the ones delivered by his left hand.

* ColorMotif: [[CaptainObvious Yellow, of course.]] Daredevil's first costume was actually primarily yellow in color, which is due to his father's boxing robe (from which he made said costume) being yellow. He does switch to the more popular all-red costume at the end, after Karen tells him that he ought to be wearing red seeing as he's dressed as, well, a devil. That, and Karen's favorite color is red.

* SuperSenses: No sight, [[HyperAwareness heightened everything else.]]

* ColorMotif: [[CaptainObvious Yellow, of course.]] Daredevil's first costume was actually mostly yellow in color, which is due to his father's boxing robe (from which he made said costume) being yellow. He does switch to the more popular all-red costume at the end, after Karen tells him that he ought to be wearing red seeing as he's dressed as, well, a devil. That, and Karen's favorite color is red.

* OriginStory: The story is actually an origin story for [[RuleOfThree three things]]: Matt's powers and superhero career, the Murdock and Nelson law firm (and by extension, Matt and Foggy's law careers), and most importantly, Matt and Karen's relationship.

* ThereWasADoor: When the Fantastic Four came over on their Fantasti-Car to hire Nelson and Murdock, The Thing just smashes his head through their second-floor window. Reed says to him that Nelson and Murdock do indeed have a front entrance.

* BadGuysPlayPool: [[DownplayedTrope Not exactly villains]], but some pretty rough and rude kids were playing pool at a bar. They quickly make blind jokes at Matt's expense. In response, Matt and Foggy (mostly Matt) swiftly showed them up in a game of pool, with some betting for good measure. What makes them bad guys is the fact that after losing, they gang up on Matt in a dark alley outside the bar. Not that they were any problem for him, though.

** Jack Murdock is shot dead when Matt was in college, which is true to the original comics. However, ever since Miller's landmark run on the title, Matt has been depicted as being only a child when Jack's bumped off.

** Also, the first case that Nelson and Murdock take is for the ComicBook/FantasticFour. When Reed refers to Matt as Mister Murdock, Matt asks him to simply call him by his first name. Reed obliges, and soon after requests the same thing from Matt when Matt calls ''him'' Mister Richards.

* AffectionateNickname: Daredevil's title, [[SuperheroSobriquets the Man Without Fear]], is given to him by Karen.

* FirstNameBasis: Throughout the story, Matt and Foggy insist that Karen refer to them by their first names (well, nickname in Foggy's case), but [[InsistentTerminology she maintains formality ]]by continuously using Mister Murdock and Mister Nelson. Until the very end, when she has become infatuated with Daredevil (not knowing that DD is Matt), she then refers to them using their own names while simultaneously referring to Daredevil as ''Mister'' Daredevil, hilariously taking the boys by surprise.
** Also, the first case that Nelson and Murdock take is for the ComicBook/FantasticFour. When Reed refers to Matt as Mister Murdock, Matt asks him to simply call him by his first name. Reed obliges, and not long after requests the same thing of Matt when he calls ''him'' Mister Richards.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: Matt and Foggy. They've been best friends since college days. Foggy is shown to greatly respect and admire (and even quite a bit jealous of) Matt, and while he never vocalizes it, Matt thinks quite highly of Foggy as well.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Slade, the guy who pulled the gun on Jack Murdock, loved pistachio nuts. When Matt went to see him in jail, he requested Matt bring some for him. And when Slade was executed via the electric chair, Matt even considered eating some pistachio nuts in front of him out of spite.

* AffectionateNickname: Daredevil's [[SuperheroSobriquet title, the Man Without Fear]], is given to him by Karen after he saves her.

** In addition to the costume, Matt's narration thought bubbles are yellow, every lamp and light in the story is yellow, Karen's hair is colored bright yellow, Daredevil's first supervillain is Electro (whose costume is half yellow and has lots of yellow sparks around him), and the story starts in black and white (except for Daredevil's modern red costume) that was immediately contrasted with the splash of Matt and Foggy's yellow room wall.
* BadGuysPlayPool: Not exactly villains, but some pretty rough and rude kids were playing pool at a bar. They quickly make blind jokes at Matt's expense. In response, Matt and Foggy (mostly Matt) swiftly showed them up in a game of pool, with some betting for good measure.

** Jack Murdock is shot dead when Matt was in college. In the main continuity, Matt was only a child when Jack's bumped off.

* RoguesGalleryTransplant: [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Electro]] is the first supervillain Daredevil fights. It's not a full transplant, though.

* NeverFoundTheBody: After an altercation with the Owl ends with him in the river, the Owl never resurfaces.

* TalkingToTheDead: Well, writing instead of talking, but the principle is the same.

* ColorMotif: [[CaptainObvious Yellow, of course.]] Daredevil's first costume was actually mostly yellow in color, which is due to his father's boxing robe (from which he made said costume) being yellow.
