More About the Author

Frank Miller is one of the seminal creative talents who sparked the current gigantic sub-industry of motion pictures featuring comic book- initiated product. A sub-industry which had become a super-industry. This most profitable aspect of this millennium's film production, now producing an annual flow of box office profits in the Billions of dollars, was launched when Frank Miller's graphic novel re-take on the classic comic book hero, Batman, resulted in an entertainment industry-wide reconsideration of the genre in the deeper and darker vision Miller brought to it.

Miller re-defined the presentation of comic book characters and heroic fiction with his grand-daddy of graphic novels, "The Dark Knight." This revolutionary work
not only kicked off the series of Batman films based on his redefinition, but a craze for such material that has thrown dozens of such heroes into multiple film franchise heaven. Certainly chief among these has been Miller's uniquely classical take on superheroic narrative, "300," and his "Sin City" books, each of which entered motion pictures with historic successes, and each now in Miller's creative phase of achieving its highly-anticipated sequel. Miller's co-direction of "Sin City" has made him one of the hottest
directors... as well as a guiding creative force...for the new genre. Or one might say "super genre."

Miller's latest graphic novel, Holy Terror, is his first original graphic novel in ten years. Join The Fixer, a brand new, hard-edged hero as he battles terror in the inaugural release from Legendary Comics.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Complete Man Without Fear, March 7, 2007
By 
If you enjoyed 300, Sin City and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, witness where Frank Miller got his start. Collecting Miller's historic, early 1980's run, the Daredevil Omnibus presents one of the greatest examples of serialized superhero comics. While the collection starts off slowly, it quickly build up steam with the introduction of Elektra, through the clashes with Bullseye and culminating with the conflict against the Kingpin.
Along with inker, embellisher, penciller and colorist Klaus Janson, Frank Miller created one of the greatest runs in this character's history, perhaps even overshadowing Stan Lee, Bill Everett and Wally Wood's work from the sixties. This may be the only example where character was so successfully reinvented, surpassing even what these great creators had done before. Miller's style and design mature significantly as the issues progress, while the stories change from standard Marvel fare to the first modern day "crime comic". Further, the recoloring (seemingly based on the original palate) brings vibrant new life to this run.
Additionally, the Omnibus contains an extensive interview, Miller's pencil breakdowns and Janson's colorguides for issue 190, giving a rare glimpse into the creative process. A steal at twice the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars really nice book, May 7, 2007
I call this my Daredevil bible.
It has a really nice Red hard back cover with black Daredevil drawings on it.

The book itself containts over 30 colored issues of Frank Miller's run on Daredevil which includes some really classic moments for the character.
I noticed in the Marvel: Age of Apocalypse books it almost looks like the images were scanned from a comic, this is not the case here. All the pages are crisp and clean almost as if you have the original edition.

There is also a section in the back that has interviews and classic covers and sketches.

The price of this book is a bit much. Honestly if you aren't a hardcore DD fan I wouldn't suggest buying this particular item, I would go for the much cheaper soft cover editions. If you are a big DD fan then I suggest buying this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vol. 1 of the COMPLETE Frank Miller run of Daredevil, May 26, 2007
By 
I'm not gonna try to sell you on this book 'cause if you're looking at it you're already a Frank Miller fan. So... before I purchased this book I wanted to know what issues were contained therein! Above there are claimes this book contains DD issues #158 thru #191; this is only sort of true...

This most wonderful book ACTUALLY contains:

Daredevil #158 - 161 and #163 - 191 as well as the DD story from
What If...? #34!

Cool bonuses are: ALL of Franks DD trade paperback reprint covers, thumbnails and color guides for issue #190, a new introduction and an 1981 interview w/ Frank and Klaus,Frank's DD page from Fantastic Four Roast #1, AND Frank's intries from the Offcial Handbook of the Marvel Universe!

You know you want it True Beliver!

'Nuff said!
