Synopsis
When acclaimed writer-artist Frank Miller began his celebrated run on the Marvel title, Daredevil, no one knew what to expect. They certainly didn't realize that a seemingly meek Greek college student by the name of Elektra would become one of the most popular and memorable characters in the post-modern, increasingly adult world of comic books.
Telling the story of how the death of her father drove an innocent, naive college student into a deadly trained martial arts assassin, this seminal work stands alone among the great stories to ever be produced in the graphic storytelling medium.
Review
One of the greatest comic series to come out of the 1980's, and should really be counted with the likes of Watchmen; Dark Knight Returns and Miracleman. The artwork and writings of Messirs Miller and Sienkiewicz have never been so darn cool or groundbreaking. The story is told in fractured pieces; almost schizophrenic in style and the artwork is deliriously brilliant and inspired.
It has to be experienced -as it's far more than a casual read. It's like an explosion to the senses and somehow all other comics seem almost two dimensional in relation.
