Elektra: Assassin

Frank Miller and Bill Sienkiewicz teamed up for this single, landmark 1987 Marvel prestige-format one-shot, a psychedelic and brutally stylized deconstruction of the Elektra character. Sienkiewicz’s expressionistic, collage-like art pushed the boundaries of comic book visuals, perfectly matching Miller’s dense, paranoid narrative of cybernetic assassins and psychic warfare. More an experimental art piece than a traditional superhero comic, it remains a touchstone for the medium’s potential for raw, unconventional storytelling.
