American Comics Update: Mighty Marvel Firsts: Debut of Elektra in Daredevil #168
*Marvel: For a visually-impaired gentleman, Matt Murdock saw, as our American cousins would put it, a lot of action with the ladies; for a while in the 1980s and 1990s, every second plotline involved a Woman From His Past, with attendant complications. But by far the most memorable of these was Elektra, the tormented assassin whose conflicted relationship with our hero struck so deep a chord with readers that even after she died, she was brought back (twice) by popular demand. Written and drawn by the acclaimed and controversial Frank Miller, this copy of Elektra’s debut is towards a mid-grade, glossy and shiny, with firm, tight staples and nice white to off-white pages. There is minor spine wear and corner blunting, with a tiny chip off bottom right corner. There are a couple of creases which only faintly break colour on DD’s head and body.
