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.

If you get this book you will truly understand what all the fuss about both Frank Miller and Daredevil himself is all about. This is Miller at the beginning of his career, and if you're familiar with his work, the seeds of what would come are sewn here. In the interview in the back, Miller actually expresses a few times how he wanted to level the humour and violence so there was almost a balance, so one wouldn't become too much and make the book boring (shame he still doesn't take that approach, but I won't get into that). Issue 163 was always superb (with the Hulk) and Miller's pencils here still make me sigh, yearn to be 12 again and try those acrobatic moves! Fantastic run on Daredevil, it starts a bit strange, in the middle of a story, but i think they put it in for completions sake.Economy of brush strokes and backgrounds, the big limitation of the product here, sometimes entail great results. As for the omnibus itself, well, look: if you've read more than 1 comic by now, you've probably heard of this run. While the first few stories here showcase a more fun side of Daredevil and some cool moments with the hulk, they feel very typical superheroish. These are things I’ve only heard of as Frank Miller’s run was popular but it was great to read it and see all this stuff unfold first hand.

en los inicios de esta etapa Miller comenzó dibujando los guiones de Roger McEnzie, tras unos cuantos números de adaptación pasó a hacerse cargo del guión y los lápices siendo entintado por Klaus Janson, Miller y Janson desarrollaron un estilo muy adecuado y efectivo para la serie que les proporcionó un gran éxito, al final de esta etapa Miller fue delegando en la parte gráfica, parcela en la que Janson iría ganando más peso cada vez. You can still figure out what the characters are saying and those missing words are very few (two to three words in the whole book IIRC). 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. This is Miller's best (early) writing on Daredevil, where he introduces just about the entirety of the modern Daredevil mythos, including Elektra, Stick, the Kingpin as Daredevil villain, and Bullseye as arch-villain. And not only does he establish, reestablish, and create new characters, he has terrific stories for them as well.I recommend this book to anyone who likes their comic books with more rounded characters and clever, engaging plots!

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. Frank Miller's spellbinding scripts and pulse-pounding pencils herald one of Daredevil's greatest eras, just in time for the Kingpin and Bullseye's efforts to rob the Man Without Fear of everything he holds dear. The central part of the story revolves around a fist fight in a movie theatre, with the Maltese Falcon in background. But, and it's a big but, unlike many of these omnibus journeys, this one is pretty much fascinating and entertaining from the word go.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Here we get to watch (for the first time in comics), a character move from a typical spandex-clad, fighting hero with a secret identity to a thoughtful and troubled person who contemplates murder and love. Glad I did too because the pair give a very informative take on their run on the book and on the character and even into the comic book industry itself. But will the Kingpin's one weakness - his all-too-human heart - undo the criminal empire he has built for himself?

The stories are good and fast paced, and the artwork by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson are spectaculair. Frank Miller's spellbinding scripts and pulse-pounding pencils mark one of Daredevil's greatest eras - but will the Kingpin and Bullseye's efforts rob the Man Without Fear of everything he holds dear? Miller's Daredevil run is one of the most lauded, most hyped runs of any character, at least in my experience anyway. As a massive Frank Miller fan I was eager to get this as I'd only read about his and Klaus Janson's time on the title and small details about the plots etc. 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.Fue uno de sus primeros trabajos, que le acabaría consagrando como artista completo pues apenas dos años después se pondría también al cargo de los guiones. But even in less important chapters of their run such as this, Miller and Janson manage to pool out some interesting visual ideas. Overall, it was a very interesting way of experiencing this Matt Murdock: a darker and much more morally complicated version; one who, in the midst of internal chaos, uses those he loves the most in such a nonchalant fashion without even thinking of the effect his actions have on them, but who also ultimately ends up realizing just how far reaching the consequences of his behavior are. A minor issue, plotted around the goofy looking character of the Gladiator, a leftover of the pre-Miller era, when Daredevil was fighting a rouge gallery of buffoons.
