Elektra Lives Again GN - Frank Miller art & cover

Frank Miller

Elektra Lives Again GN (graphic novel), 1990 - Several years after Frank Miller's tremendous run on Daredevil, the artist/writer returns to feature Elektra in her own graphic novel. Continuing from events in Daredevil #190, the female assassin is resurrected to thwart the deadly ninja organization known as The Hand. This ambitious hardcover format has a high level of sophistication, much of it due to Miller's (and colorist Lynn Varley's) painterly approach to the illustrations. While his drawings veer toward the mildly distorted form of expressionism, his page designs and pacing are phenomenal. The story boasts six full splash pages and a double page spread, yet other stunning examples abound. The psychologically charged "floating jail cell" on pages 48-49 and the implied spirituality of the stained glass background on page 16 are two that come immediately to mind. While Miller's artwork on the cover takes up little space, it works perfectly in tandem with the Greek-like typography and it's subtle cross configuration.
