And, quite surprisingly for him, Miller did it with nuanceĭaredevil: Born Again begins in rather auspicious fashion in issue #227, with Matt Murdock’s former secretary/love interest Karen Page revealed to have descended into prostitution and drug addiction following her previous Hollywood foray into acting. Summoning a shade of forlorn poetry to his writing later honed further in his blockbuster hit Sin City, Miller managed to strike a rare tone of artistry within the usually colorful world of Marvel that proved a harbinger of things to come. What separated Born Again was a certain touch of realism to the melodrama that saw DD’s alter ego Matt Murdock plunge into a living nightmare brought about by the revelation of his secret identity to his arch nemesis Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin.

Written concurrently with his other milestone work of the period, The Dark Knight Returns, Born Again was vastly different from Miller’s preceding run, and in fact was unlike most of the previous offerings by Marvel up to that point. No stranger to grim and gritty, the irrepressible Frank Miller teamed up with David Mazzucchelli in early 1986 on Daredevil, the brief run itself being a return by Miller to the title he had brought to prominence only four years earlier.
