Elektra: Assassin #[nn]

Elektra stands poised and lethal against a stark black background — dressed in her signature crimson costume, blindfolded, with a massive assault rifle in one hand and a gleaming blade in the other, the cover by Bill Sienkiewicz is a masterclass in stylized menace. This 2012 Marvel collection of Frank Miller and Sienkiewicz's Elektra: Assassin — subtitled "Hell and Back" — brings together the full creative firepower of two artists at the height of their craft. Sienkiewicz's painted linework gives Elektra an almost dreamlike intensity that perfectly matches Miller's razor-sharp storytelling sensibility.
