What is Frank Miller's Daredevil and the Ends of Heroism (Comics Culture) about?
**2017 EISNER AWARD NOMINEE for Best Academic/Scholarly Work** In the late 1970s and early 1980s, writer-artist Frank Miller turned __Daredevil__ from a tepid-selling comic into an industry-wide success story, doubling its sales within three years. Lawyer by day and costumed vigilante by night, the character of Daredevil was the perfect vehicle for the explorations of heroic ideals and violence that would come to define Miller’s work. __Frank Miller’s Daredevil and the Ends of Heroism__ is both a rigorous study of Miller’s artistic influences and innovations and a reflection on how his visionary work on __Daredevil__ impacted generations of comics publishers, creators, and fans. Paul Young explores the accomplishments of Miller the writer, who fused hardboiled crime stories with superhero comics, while reimagining Kingpin (a classic Spider-Man nemesis), recuperating the half-baked villain Bullseye, and inventing a completely new kind of __Daredevil__ villain in Elektra. Yet, he also offers a vivid appreciation of the indelible panels drawn by Miller the artist, taking a fresh look at his distinctive page layouts and lines. A childhood fan of Miller’s __Daredevil__, Young takes read
