Storia editoriale

modifica

Sales had been declining since the end of the Wolfman/Brown run, and by the time Miller became Daredevil's penciler, the series was in danger of cancellation. Moreover, Miller disliked Roger McKenzie's scripts, and Jim Shooter (who had since become Marvel's editor-in-chief) had to talk him out of quitting.[2] Seeking to appease Miller,[2] and impressed by a short backup feature he had written, new editor Denny O'Neil fired McKenzie so that Miller could write the series.[3] The last issue of McKenzie's run plugs a two-part story which was pulled from publication, as its mature content encountered resistance from the Comics Code Authority, though part one eventually saw print in Daredevil #183, by which time Code standards had relaxed.[4]

In this period, Miller modeled Matt Murdock's appearance on the actor Robert Redford.[5] Miller's initial run, first as penciler, then writer/penciler, and last a writer and layout artist begins in May 1979 and ends in February 1983. During this period, circulation doubled, to average sales of 276,812 copies per month. Comics historian Les Daniels noted that "Almost immediately, [Miller] began to attract attention with his terse tales of urban crime."[6] Miller's revamping of the title was controversial among fans, but it clicked with new readers, and sales began soaring,[2] the comic returning to monthly status just three issues after Miller came on as writer. The series made Miller a star in the industry.[7] Miller took writing inspiration from hardboiled crime fiction as well as the superhero comic tradition.[8] For example, he draws on techniques of suspense, dramatic irony, and ambiguous characterization adopted from Raymond Chandler.[9] Miller moved away from the conventions of the commercially dominant genre of comic books, superhero comics, toward the style that interested him most: crime comics.[10] Miller is also responsible for emphasizing Daredevil's Catholic beliefs and deep concern with penance.[11]

Resuming the drastic metamorphosis McKenzie began, Miller ignores much of Daredevil's continuity prior to his run on the series; on the occasions where older villains and supporting cast appear, their characterizations and history with Daredevil are reworked or overwritten. Most prominently, dedicated and loving father Jack Murdock is reimagined as a drunkard who physically abused his son Matt, entirely revising Daredevil's reasons for becoming a lawyer.[12] Spider-Man villain Kingpin becomes Daredevil's new primary nemesis, displacing most of his large rogues gallery. Miller also introduced the Punisher to the series, a lethal vigilante previously created in The Amazing Spider-Man. Punisher serves a foil for Daredevil because he is motivated by vengeance rather than justice, and is willing to apply deadly force.[13] However, tormented by guilt, Daredevil himself gradually becomes something of an antihero. In issue #181 (April 1982), he attempts to murder Bullseye by throwing him off a tall building; when the villain survives as a quadriplegic, he breaks into his hospital room and tries to scare him to death by playing a two-man variation on Russian roulette with a secretly unloaded gun.[14]

Miller infused his first issue of Daredevil with his own film noir style.[15] Miller sketched the roofs of New York in an attempt to give his Daredevil art an authentic feel not commonly seen in superhero comics at the time. Miller cited Will Eisner and Moebius, from the comics tradition, and filmmakers Orson Welles, Fritz Lang, and Alfred Hitchcock as inspirations.[16] One journalist commented:Template:Blockquote

Following up a suggestion from O'Neil that he give Daredevil a realistic fighting style,[17] Miller drew detailed fighting scenes attentive to the physics and techniques of East Asian martial arts.[18] Miller introduced ninjas into the Daredevil canon, in particularly an evil army called the Hand.[19] Miller created previously unseen characters who had played a major part in his youth: Stick, leader of the ninja clan, the Chaste, who had been Murdock's sensei after he was blinded; and Elektra, an on-again off-again girlfriend and sometime member of the Hand.[20] Elektra was eventually killed by Bullseye, in a shocking and widely read issue that was one of the defining events of comics for the decade.[21]

With #185, inker Janson began doing the pencils over Miller's layouts, and after #191 Miller left the series entirely. O'Neil switched from editor to writer. O'Neil was not enthusiastic about the switch, later saying "I took the gig mostly because there didn't seem to be (m)any other viable candidates for it."[3] Janson left shortly after Miller, replaced initially by penciler William Johnson and inker Danny Bulanadi, who were both supplanted by David Mazzucchelli.

O'Neil continued McKenzie and Miller's noir take on the series, but backed away from the antihero depiction of the character by having him not only spare Bullseye's life but express guilt over his two previous attempts to kill him. In the period written by O'Neil, Heather Glenn eventually kills herself, in Daredevil #220 (March 1985).[22] Miller returned as the title's regular writer, co-writing #226 with O'Neil. Miller and artist David Mazzucchelli crafted the acclaimed "Born Again" storyline in #227–233.[23] In the Born Again storyline, Karen Page returns as a heroin-addicted porn star, and sells Daredevil's secret identity for drug money.[24] The Kingpin acquires the information and, in an act of revenge, orchestrates a frameup that costs Murdock his attorney's license. Murdock also discovers that his lost mother, Maggie, who he thought dead, is living as a nun.[25] Miller ends the arc on a positive note, with Murdock reuniting with Karen Page.[26] Miller intended to produce an additional two-part story with artist Walt Simonson but the story was never completed and remains unpublished.[27] Miller's period of authorship was enormously commercially successful; his story arcs on Daredevil were the only sales competition for Chris Claremont's Uncanny X-Men, the consistent top seller in the 1980s.[28]

Three fill-in issues followed before Steve Englehart (under the pseudonym "John Harkness")[29][30] took the post of writer, only to lose it after one issue due to a plot conflict with one of the fill-ins.

Ann Nocenti became the series's longest-running regular writer, with a four-and-a-quarter-year run from #238–291 (Jan. 1987 – April 1991).[31] The shuffle of short-term artists continued for her first year, until John Romita Jr. joined as penciller from #250 to #282 (January 1988 – July 1990) alongside inker Al Williamson, who stayed on through #300. In this period, Murdock returns to law by co-founding with Page a nonprofit drug and legal clinic. Nocenti's stories wrestle with feminism, alcoholism, and animal rights.[32] She introduced the antagonist Typhoid Mary, who became a recurring villain.[33] Typhoid Mary has dissociative identity disorder; while her "Typhoid" identity is evil, her alter ego, Mary Walker, who dates Daredevil is sweet and reserved.[34] Nocenti created Typhoid Mary after reflecting on experiences working in asylums for the mentally ill, about the condition of bipolar disorder, and about stereotypes regarding women in comic books.[35] In Nocenti's storyline, Murdock becomes a drifter in upstate New York; this was the first time the character had been taken outside of an urban environment.[36] She concludes her run with a positive turn in Murdock's fortunes: He returns to Hell's Kitchen, regains his sense of self, reconciles with Foggy Nelson, and resolves to seek out Karen Page.[37]
