The end of the Frank Miller and Klaus Janson phase commanded by the Daredevil series comes in the fourth volume of the compilation published by Panini Comics

After three volumes already published by Panini Comicsthe stage of Frank Miller y Klaus Janson at the head of the series of Daredevil It moves its end into some final numbers that will lead the reader to testify some of their best moments. The fourth volume of this collection is under the title of Marvel masterpieces. Daredevil by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson 4 of 4.

Life after Elektra

Open this volume is like entering a hyperreal version of Under World of Kitchen’s Kitchenone in which ElektraThe great love in the life of Daredevil, died at the hands of Bullseye. Our hero brings huge wounds to his soul and we will see him pass through the stages of the duel, starting from the denial (and passing first rather than late acceptance). The cover of the first number included in this collection in which we see the Devil Guardian Hugging Elektra’s tomb is quite significant.

The city where Daredevil moves is now an extension of the pain of his hero. Miller uses all the elements within his reach to show, not only explicitly but also implicitly, the terrible circumstances that now occupy the mind of our protagonist. We will physically see to develop an environment that oppresses it and sinks it of pain. Klaus Janson’s ability here to use color as a narrative element is also something to highlight this beginning.

Another Murdock lover

An important character in this volume will be Heather Glennone of the secondary ones that we could see how the representation of normal life Matt Murdock I could have had if it hadn’t been Daredevil. His first appearance was in 1975 and we are presented as the daughter of the businessman Maxwell Glenn. At the beginning his relationship with Matt has a clearer air and even something superficial, very different from the tragic and dark tone that dominates the Daredevil environment. But, as usually happens with those who approach Murdock too much, their story is tortuous.

Perhaps with that of “a nail that takes another nail”, an emotionally devastated Matt that does not want to suffer another loss as Elektra asks Heather. But it is not a romantic, but desperate proposal. He tries to convince himself that he can have a more stable and more normal life, but the gesture is empty, since he is not really in love with Heather at that moment, but he is fleeing from his pain. And Heather knows it, so the relationship crumbles quickly, also becoming his toxic relationship.

A special mention deserves the page on which, just before the wedding, they both receive a note from the other in which in a nutshell they say that everything ended up with each other. Recently this character has reached the general public when he appears in the series Daredevil: born againplayed by Margarita Levieva.

Punisher and Black Widow

Among the illustrious secondarys that we will find in this last stretch, it would be necessary to highlight some of them. The first would be Punishertimes before Garth EnnisWhich in the end will recite in a violent clash with Daredevil, sowing the seeds of what he would have been a very fruitful relationship for the reader years later. StickMurdock’s old teacher does not return like a kind mentor, but like a constant voice from Matt’s past. Pin It remains hidden in the darkness of the city, not only as head, but as a moral presence for Daredevil: it represents the reverse path towards yours, power without ethics. And the Black widowformer lover of Matt, he returns to his life just in time for a great battle against the ninja of Hand.

Also you have to count on us like Foggy Nelson or some of those bad secondary secondary rows that have always populated the regular series of the character. And with Bullseye, even if it is paralyzed in a hospital bed. Daredevil’s Nemesis participates, involuntarily, in a Russian fatal roulette game with the hero in a number that would have remained as one of the most remembered of all this stage and that Miller says he feels more proud.

Preamble of what will come

In this song by Swan Frank Miller not only writes more mature plots, but also changes his visual style in a remarkable way, something he had already anticipated in the third volume. Their pencils are more dissolved and directed here and we can contemplate a powerful mixture of graphic energy of Miller and the definitive enthical of Janson, who has already been almost completely responsible. In these numbers the series looks like a movie Noir In cartoons, with long shadows, unstable perspectives and dirty roads that sweat ink.

And you can find cartoons that seem evidence of things that a few years later we would see in masterpieces like The return of the Dark Knight or even Sin City. Miller’s art was not yet completely tuned (if we consider it without a city when he has already exploded and define his minimalist style), but he has already found the direction of direction he wants to take. And see that Live, page after page, is priceless.
