“Lady Killer”

In "Lady Killer," Frank Miller crafts a tense, character-driven mystery where Daredevil must untangle a web of deception after a man resembling Melvin Potter—long thought to be a harmless figure—turns up as a dangerous assailant. With sharp storytelling and moody visuals by Miller and Klaus Janson, the issue pits Daredevil against a chilling impersonation that tests his instincts and justice. The cover by Miller and Janson captures the noir edge of the tale, perfectly framing the suspense.
