This was probably my least favorite of the three Visionaries volumes collecting Frank Miller's work on Daredevil. Mostly because, well, Frank Miller didn't write any of these stories. He just drew them. I've read in an interview that Miller nearly quit because he hated Roger McKenzie's writing and Marvel placated him by firing McKenzie and letting him write his own stories (beginning with Volume 2). Well I can see why they did it. Some of these story arcs are just embarrassing to read. I recommend reading this volume only to juxtapose with Frank Miller's actual writing so you can see why he was considered so important. So I enjoyed this more than I thought I would! I wasn't sure how I'd feel about earlier Daredevil stories, since I'm so used to seeing Matt inked/colored in newer styles. To be honest though, this was pretty amazing. Frank Miller's talent for penciling is evident, from the first issue contained in this volume. He brings this gritty noir style to the story that I really ended up liking. I think my favorite part is the way that he drew Natasha, or Black Widow as you might know her. She has this distinctly curvy body, and I loved that she wasn't this stick figure of a character. Too often now that's more the style, and so I was completely enamored with her womanly physique. Plus, well, Natasha is a bad-ass. Story wise, this was pretty solid too. The dialogue absolutely screams "Early 80's comic!" but it's pretty easy to sink into. It was cool to be able to see where Daredevil's roots came from, and by the time that Elektra came on the scene, I was sold. This is pretty amazing! I haven't read a lot of older comics, so I'm greatly enjoying this journey. This compilation of Frank Miller's earliest work on "Daredevil" was my first introduction to him, from the original comic books. I knew quickly that here was a special talent, still learning and developing at this point, but definitely someone to watch. Frank Miller transformed the "Daredevil" line from near-irrelevancy to one of Marvel's best comics. This collection of his early work primarily showcases his artwork, although by the end of the compilation he was getting some writing credits, and the stories seem to show that. The best stories in here are the one with the Hulk ("Blind Alley"), and the one retelling his origin ("Expose'"). geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
