"DAREDEVIL" #158 (Marvel, 1979)
Frank Miller and Klaus Janson - Original artwork to DAREDEVIL # 158 page 23 (Marvel, 1979).
This holy grail page is from the classic Roger McKenzie story, "A Grave Mistake!"
featuring DD battling his deadliest adversary, the Deathstalker, in the villain's final appearance!
In this historic issue, FRANK MILLER plays fast and loose with anatomy, twisting bodies
in unnatural ways. He turns the jagged energy lines radiating from Death-Stalker’s electrified gloves into a design element that spills across panel borders.
The issue builds to a climactic fight scene in a graveyard, where Daredevil knocks out a streetlight
to even the odds, and the next page turns the hero-vs.-villain throwdown into pure abstraction: two silhouettes, lunging and kicking across five wide horizontal panels.
The black-and-white original art for this sequence could be a page out of Sin City, right down to Death-Stalker’s trench coat.
This is the issue that announced Miller’s arrival to the comic world, but it was also a statement of intent. It’s Frank Miller figuring out how to do “Frank Miller” right before your eyes.
This page has an image area of 10" x 15" inches, and is pencilled and inked on bristol board.
The artwork is in very good condition.
Please refer to all of our high resolution images.
Artwork will be professionally packed between solid boards to prevent any damage!
