Daredevil v1 #168, 1981 - Frank Miller takes over the scripting chores, introducing Daredevil's lost love turned assassin, Elektra. Most of the issue is told in flashback, in small but numerous panels. A good bit of dialogue fills the panels, but the artwork itself is sparingly detailed. The visuals certainly reinforce, rather than detract from the storytelling, but seem hurried in execution. Miller's cover, with their bold lightning flashes, strikes me as overly dramatic. I do appreciate, however, that Elektra remains obscured to pique the reader's interest. Several pages of this first appearance were later reprinted in Elektra Saga #1. This is 10 of 33 Daredevil issues by Miller. Read my commentary on this issue's historical significance. /// key 1st appearance, 1st cover Elektra- - - - - - - - - -
