Daredevil by Frank Miller & Klaus Jason Omnibus (New Printing)

Product Information

These are things I’ve only heard of as Frank Miller’s run was popular but it was great to read it and see all this stuff unfold first hand. Frank Miller toma las riendas de una serie a punto de ser cancelada y la enriquece con un tono de cine negro y una miríada de conceptos nuevos (Elektra, la Mano) o renovados (Bullseye, Kingpin) para insuflarle nueva vida. I am not aflutter about all of his works, but Miller does have the right kind of touch for fast-paced action and noir(-ish) atmosphere that “Daredevil” needs.

Al menos hasta ahora mismo, que vivimos la época mas baja en cuanto al personaje y mas triste al ver que la alaban tanto los que nunca han hecho ni puto caso al personaje. Anyhow, from then on, Wilson Fisk (I think Miller gave Kingpin his actual name) will become Daredevil's nemesis.Of course, 1980 Marvel were never going to get away with Sin City levels of maturity, although one could always have hoped, yet for al the talk of street level grit and grounded storytelling, there was still a little too much of the silver age tainting this run, at least early on, before Miller found his feet when he started writing it, anyway.

Also note that, before Miller came along, the Daredevil comic was floundering on the edge of cancellation. Frank Miller is one of the seminal creative talents who sparked the current gigantic sub-industry of motion pictures featuring comic book- initiated product. Visually, this is simply an eighties gem of a superhero comic which look exactly like an eighties gem of a superhero comic. In the interview in the back, Miller actually expresses a few times how he wanted to level the humour and violence so there was almost a balance, so one wouldn't become too much and make the book boring (shame he still doesn't take that approach, but I won't get into that).

I also really enjoyed the lettering techniques, especially when used as background, communicating onomatopoeias in a way that doesn't distract from the foreground interactions. Frank Miller's run on daredevil is one of those legendary runs that you hear about as a comic book fan. Interpersonal relationships were well explored and less lionizing than the typical superhero fare which I appreciated as well. As a massive Frank Miller fan I was eager to get this as I'd only read about his and Klaus Janson's time on the title and small details about the plots etc. otra colección camino a la cancelación por ser una tontunada como tantas otras, por ejemplo spiderman (torta gratuita, sip).
