Daredevil by Frank Miller & Klaus Jason Omnibus (New Printing)

Product Information

puso mucho énfasis en retratar los barrios de New York, creando una ambientación genial para las aventuras del personaje, huyó de las estructuras clásicas del comic book para presentar las páginas de forma inusual en la época, con grandes viñetas rectangulares, tanto panorámicas como verticales que eran más adecuadas para representar la ciudad y el movimiento del protagonista por ella, asimismo, Miller fue capaz de realizar un dibujo fluido y fácil de interpretar para el lector, de manera que se podía arriesgar a presentar gran cantidad de páginas que reflejaban la acción sin cuadros de texto que la explicaran, cosa bastante inusual en aquellos momentos. A estas alturas de la vida no voy a descubriros el Daredevil de Frank Miller, pero como me hice de autoregalo por navidad este omnibus americano, que recoge el momento en que Miller se puso al frente de la colección, primero como dibujante y después como guionista, pues habrá que hacerle al menos una pequeña reseña. As for the omnibus itself, well, look: if you've read more than 1 comic by now, you've probably heard of this run. The panel compositions are mirroring each other, with Kingping and Bullseye in similar positions, and the line of Fisk's smoke repeated as the trajectory of a buzzing fly in the following page. El estilo de dibujo de Miller, fue comiéndose al propio guionista y no porque Miller sea (o fuera) un grandísimo dibujante propiamente mismo, sino por la forma de narrar visualmente, lo que empujó poco a poco a que las historias fueran también mas cinematográficas en todos los aspectos.

This most profitable aspect of this millennium’s film production, now producing an annual flow of box office profits in the Billions of dollars, was launched when Frank Miller’s graphic novel re-take on the classic comic book hero, Batman, resulted in an entertainment industry-wide reconsideration of the genre in the deeper and darker vision Miller brought to it. Take a rare look at the formative years of a brilliant comic-book creator and the series that made him famous. The run finishes with the 11 issue arc following the lost DD coping with Elektra's death and wanting revenge on her killer, the Zenith is reached in 191 (in my opinion the best comic book ever printed) where DD plays Russian roulette with a quadriplegic Bullseye.During those times, Daredevil was originally pinned with colorful characters (Stilt-Man for crying out loud), fighting different ones every day, and battling it out in court battles. Since Miller is writing the series, he relied on Klaus Janson who complimented Miller’s art so well, for inking and finishing up his rough sketches. are mostly Miller as artist, and they're more typical superhero fare (though they set up villains like Bullseye and the Gladiator who carry into Miller's issues proper). If you want to read Daredevil for any reason-you want to know more about him, you like the character, you are interested in comics history, you are interested in Elektra, etc.

I really love how Miller’s characterization of the Kingpin, especially after the death of his wife, and the whole Death of Elektra story arc. Es esta una época dura para ser un fan de Daredevil, porque uno ve con estupor como la vergüenza ajena brota por doquier y como algo que nada tiene que ver con los últimos 40 años y mas con la etapa tontuna que casi lo lleva a la cancelación en la etapa pre-Miller, es encima aplaudido hoy en día. and it disappoints that the 'Devil's Advocate' letters pages are missing but the oversize, bright white pages, production values and extras (a good 60 odd pages) make up for this. The Man Without Fear is born and reborn in this second collection of Frank Miller's finest, paired with the industry's top artistic talent!The stories are good and fast paced, and the artwork by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson are spectaculair. Not only does this collection re-invent the Man Without Fear, but it also shapes his world in ways that are still very much felt in Marvel comics, movies, and TV shows to this day.

Then David Micheline wrote another issue or two, which admittedly was a little better, but still not very good. But will the Kingpin's one weakness - his all-too-human heart - undo the criminal empire he has built for himself? The writing was fairly dated for the first 5 or so issues (especially the overly expository thought bubbles) but once Miller starts to take over story duties from Mackenzie the prose and plotting improves measurably. Pero bueno volviendo a lo que tenemos entre manos, nos encontramos con grandes historias como el retorno al crimen de Kingpin, la propia Elektra, la Mano, los ninjas blancos, Stick, Viuda Negra, Punisher, Bullseye y el gran final demoledor de la ruleta rusa donde en unas pocas paginas se deconstruye (toma ahí) todo el genero de los superheroes.That being said, Frank Miller and Daredevil suit each other like Johnnie Walker and a dark and stormy night. A woman who once loved Matt, and he loved her, swallowed by grief and rage goes down a much darker path than Matt. Esta etapa es también importante porque marca un antes y un después ya no solo para el personaje, sino también para el autor y para el género de superhéroes en general. Se devora sin pausa, atrapado por una buena historia llena de matices y por la infinidad de recursos y experimentos que hace Miller en sus viñetas.

Now, in the late 70’s, Daredevil has only been in publication for about 15 years, and at an erratic intervals (as written in the Introduction of this book). Pero en un formato u otro, en inglés o castellano, hay que tenerlo en la colección del cuernecitos que todo el mundo debería tener en casa. The template was to have the hero meet the villain and for the villain to go to jail after a bit of a romp.A backstory thrown there to create - somehow, softly retcon - the character, and turn him step by step into ' Miller's Daredevil'. I was never a huge fan of Daredevil but since I've started collecting the recent stuff by Mark Waid (which is excellent by the way) I felt I finally needed to get this omnibus and explore what I was told was some of the best stories and art in comics history. Miller started as the artist for two issues on the Amazing Spider-Man serial which happened to feature Daredevil in them.
