I just finished reading Miller's entire Daredevil run the other week. Bullseye is nothing BUT wickedly evil throughout. He is a true monster of a man.

Also, unrelated, but I have never seen so many consecutive comics with people being thrown through windows.

I have born again and it's one of my most favourite comics ever, just never got around to reading many other daredevil comics. This looks awesome though.

To me it reads that Bullseye is completely in plain clothes at that point (somehow, I guess that is a pretty quick change) and Frank was just using the coloring and lighting to show us that's Bullseye by having a shadow in the shape of his mask cast by the fire.

Your guess is as good as mine, though. Great art. I really dig that little bit of visual storytelling.

Here's a Miller Superman from back when the Man of Steel was still eating his Wheaties and getting plenty of sleep:



Frank certainly does love to give him a very squinty face.

It's just a pin-up from Superman Special #1 from 1992, so there's no narrative explanation.

Yeah, Miller was a master storyteller back in the day, in spite of his crude style; or maybe partly because of it. I don't think that Klaus Janson's inking on his art can be underestimated either. Janson gave the pencils the contrast, boldness and just the right amount of definition to really flesh it out. You'll notice a steep drop off with Miller's art once Janson was gone, even though Frank's storyboarding remained excellent for quite a while. His Sin City stuff and what he was able to achieve with black and white shapes with a minimum of line work is pretty impressive.

Anyone ever read the Frank Miller/Wil Eisner book? I highly recommend it for fans of the medium.

I thought I was going insane for a second.

Does Miller hate Superman for some reason now? Because the cover seems to me like he's trying his damndest to caricature Supes as some kind of gigantic doofus or something.

Whereas he obviously still has a big ol Bat Boner.
