Daredevil Visionaries - Frank Miller, Vol. 2
In 1981, a young Frank Miller took the reins of a second-class superhero, Daredevil, and turned the comics world on its ear with a dynamic, cinematic storytelling style, complicated characters, and unusual (for the time) devices such as first-person narrative.Daredevil Visionaries: Frank Miller, Vol. 2covers issues 168-182, when Miller took over the writing (he had already been doing the pencils; Klaus Janson did the inks) and pitted DD against Spider-Man's archrival the Kingpin, super assassin Bullseye, the ninja group the Hand, and a brand-new character, Elektra, a bounty hunter/assassin who also happened to be Matt Murdock's former lover.  Issue 181, the showdown between Bullseye and Elektra, is still one of the most memorable single issues in comics.--David Horiuchi
