About the series
In the mid-1990s, Marvel gave Elektra her first solo series, a 20-issue run that deepened the assassin’s world beyond her Daredevil origins. Writers Peter Milligan and Larry Hama, alongside artist Mike Deodato Jr., pitted Elektra against her resurrected father Hugo Natchios and the mysterious Nina McCabe, while her mentor Stick and a conflicted Wolverine crossed her path. This series matters for establishing Elektra as a headliner in her own right, blending martial arts mysticism with psychological drama during a gritty era of Marvel storytelling.
