Daredevil #176 - Frank Miller art & cover

Frank Miller

Daredevil v1 #176, 1981 - His "radar sense" now gone, Daredevil seeks out his old mentor while Elektra shadows him from a distance. Frank Miller's triangular-composed cover has its merits, but combined with the masthead / trade dress and contest promotion, the results are too chaotic for my tastes. The artwork fares better inside, where Miller continues his carefully planned sequences within distinctive layouts. Highlights of this story include a despondent DD amidst a heavy rainstorm (see interior page below) and his girlfriend Heather Glenn's emotional torment on page 6. This copper age story was later reprinted in Elektra Saga #2. This is 18 of 33 Daredevil issues by Miller.
