5/8/2023 0 Comments Daredevil elektra frank millerThe Elektra Saga sees Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil, encounter long-lost love Elektra Natchios, who now works as a ninja assassin at first going after the same target as the hero. And while this is Daredevil’s story, it’s Elektra who defines the personal tragedy that is central to Miller’s entire narrative. The Saga covers issue 168, Miller’s first story as solo writer after working as penciller for 9 issues, 174 through 182, and 187 through 190. Miller and collaborator Klaus Janson slowly interweave these two elements, expanding Daredevil mythology and smashing it against a darker, grittier urban crime element until they ignite in tragedy. If Frank Miller’s time on Daredevil is defined by one storyline, it’s likely “The Elektra Saga,” a running plot thread that laced through his entire run as writer on the title, dipping in and out of Matt Murdock’s life and interlocking with other running storylines.Īs we’ve previously discussed, Miller’s Daredevil run from 1981 through 1983 completely reshaped the character of Daredevil and is largely composed of two narratives – The rise of The Kingpin and the arrival of Elektra.
