Elektra Part 10: Daredevil #180 (March, 1982)

Elektra wins her boss’ admiration, and gets a new target...

I have this story in the Daredevil Visionaries: Frank Miller Vol. 2 trade.

Cherryh wins the election, and Kingpin acknowledges Elektra’s contribution to that by keeping her on the payroll. However, Daredevil forces Kingpin to have Cherryh resign soon after, and Kingpin gives her a new target in retaliation…Franklin Nelson.

Notes of Interest:
1) Elektra is in all of five panels this issue. Six if you include her hand.

2) The way she holds the picture in that last panel, you’d expect it to burst into flames any moment.

3) We see her face when she gets the picture of her new target, and it is so apathetic. There’s no way to tell who’s in the picture.

4) Once again, no dialogue!

WTF? Moment: What is with Miller’s lack of dialogue with this character? Most of the time he includes narration about her, rather than have the character do the narration herself – which he lets his characters do in Sin City.
