Summary: Graphic SF Reader
Comment: The start of Frank Miller as an artist. You can see the beginning of the type of story he is interested in. How the Mauler story comes across could almost have been a tale of The Spirit, for example. Some odd villains, the Black Widow, and as he points out, the nicking of Spider-Man villains, with Doctor Octopus, plus the appearance of that green rampaging Hulk.

Summary: Entertaining
Comment: This collection contains Frank Miller's very first Daredevil story, but only as an artist. But boy can this man draw. No one does it better than Miller. His heroes and villains almost jump out of the pages, and the way he draws the big city and all it's inhabitants is spot on, and his layouts are among the finest in the industry, period. The stories in this book are not written by Mr. Miller, but the art is worth the price of admission alone.

Summary: Frank Miller Only Drew These Ones - He Didn't Write Them
Comment: I've got to wonder if the other reviewers are talking about a different book. In Visionaries Volume 2 things take off and start to feel like the Frank Miller we know and love, but with Volume 1 it still feels like the Stan Lee / Chris Claremont comic writing of the previous decade. My advice - skip this one entirely and go straight to Volume 2. Even that's not Dark Knight / Born Again / Sin City caliber, but you do get to watch him grow as a writer.

Summary: Miller leads DD down a new path
Comment: Frank Miller's work for Marvel up to this time was usual fare. But when he started on DD, he developed a greater cinematic style not seen in comics before. If you get this volume and the next two, you'll see Miller take over the writing chores and then the blend of words and layouts really shines. The gritty look that Klaus Jansen gives Miller's art works well. If you actually study the panels, the art is crude at times--look at the proportions of feet and hands to heads, for example; yet the cinematic layouts make it work. Overall, this was a milestone in the history of comics that true fans shouldn't miss.

Summary: Daredevil- Reborn
Comment: Thankfully Frank Miller stepped in to change the Daredevil story for the better. I don't have to tell anyone how great Stan Lee was, but Daredevil was something of a Spider-Man clone when he first started out, and was chased by some very forgettable villains. But all that changed when the comic was given a new breath of life and now its one of my favorites. I've been collecting MARVEL comics for ages now, and this is one of my favorites. Great stuff, and a must-have for any comic collector. The artwork is visually stunning; the writing is sharp and contains real depth and emotion without sacrificing the quintessential villains and numerous amazing villains. Top-notch stuff.
