Gritty Sailor Moon Fan Art Homages an Iconic Daredevil Cover
There are few pairings that seem more unlikely on paper than Daredevil and Sailor Moon. One is a 20-something lawyer, Matt Murdock, who moonlights as a vigilante crimefighter after being blinded and then trained in hand-to-hand martial arts, increasing his other senses in the process.
