Huge book to match its creative impact This is it. This is where the modern noir Daredevil take started with Frank Miller. A must have for any Daredevil fan or if you're a comics enthusiast that wants to see some of Frank Miller's best work. The book is huge though, it is the biggest book I've ever seen. Looks great in your bookcase but a tad uncomfortable to read through.
I see this is sold out on Amazon and people are trying to sell on Marketplace for $150+. There are still copies left on mycomicshop.com for $88.
DD's Finest ... But Pricey Get this one and enjoy the ride! Reprints Miller's classic DD stories starting with issue 158. Miller's early Punisher rendition is still the best! The coloring and paper quality is excellent --- although this volume is somewhat pricey. In my opninion, Miller is one of the VERY few artists to capture the essence of Daredevil. If you're a Miller or DD diehard, this one is not to be missed.
Note: There are a few extra goodies in this volume: A Miler interview and storyboard layouts.
WHEN MILLER WAS KING! Before Sin City, before Dark Knight Returns, there was Frank Miller's Daredevil. In my opinion the best thing he ever did. He took a "B" rated super hero comic, that was being published bi-monthly, and turned it into one of the best selling monthly books of it's time. The ideas that Miller introduced in these stories are still resonating in the Marvel Universe today. He turned Daredevil into a super-bad ninja warrior. He made the Kingpin a major villain with unlimited underworld clout. He transformed Bullseye from a two-bit hood into the world's greatest assassin. And most noteably, he introduce Matt Murdock's ninja assassin love interest, Elektra.
These are some of my favorite comics of all time. The stories are a brilliant blend of super hero adventure and film style action and pacing. Not as light and upbeat as some of the books of the time, but not as dark and depressing as the "gritty" stuff Marvel is publishing these days. While I really liked some of the early adventures of DD by Stan Lee, Wally Wood, John Romita etc., for me Daredevil begins and ends with this legendary run. Nuff said.
great!! awesome collection of the frank millar daredevil run! great quality printing, pages feel great.
