![]() And Frank Miller was a pretty big deal in those days, maybe the biggest deal in comics. ![]() ![]() ![]() There aren't any significant interviews with Miller since the book's release where he says anything substantial about this project.Īnd yet, "Elektra Lives Again" is important in the way that transitional comics often are - its release positions it between "Dark Knight Returns" and "Sin City" in terms of comics written-and-drawn-by-Frank-Miller. But Frank Miller, her creator, had one final chance to say goodbye to the character he once knew.ġ990's "Elektra Lives Again" - a hardcover graphic novel written and drawn by Frank Miller and painted by Lynn Varley - was Miller's farewell to the character and it's an unusual book for a whole bunch of reasons: (a) it was published by Marvel's Epic imprint even though it's part of Miller's superhero saga begun in the monthly "Daredevil" comic book series, (b) the dusty, textured painted colors by Lynn Varley look like nothing else she's done before or since, (c) Miller brings Elektra back only to kill her off yet again in a hyper-symbolic-but-amplified replay of her first death scene, (d) unlike "Dark Knight Returns," Miller inks this story himself, and (e) out of all his major works, "Elektra Lives Again" is the book Miller talks about the least. ![]()
