Everything changed for Daredevil when Frank Miller became the writer/artist (with embellishments by Klaus Janson), and much of that can be attributed to the introduction of Elektra Natchios as seen in today’s installment of Daredevil Week. 🧵

This episode’s title comes from Captain America Comics 1: “Meet Captain America” by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. A classic Marvel rogue breaks onto the scene in “The Riddle of the Red Skull.” Rounding out the comics talk is Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos #1.
