Elektra

In 1989, Frank Miller both wrote and painted this single-issue prestige-format comic, a standalone meditation on the character that distills the assassin's lethal grace and haunted solitude into a series of striking, almost silent, visual sequences. Published as an AS-Editor release, it showcases Miller's distinctive artistic style at its most atmospheric, with Witold Nowakowski contributing to the writing. This stark, self-contained story matters as a pure creative statement from a defining era of Miller's career, offering a focused, non-continuity portrait that has influenced how the character is perceived.
