RETRO REVIEW: Daredevil #181 (April 1982)

Or – “There’s No Chris Martin Song About Murder, Is There?”

This week’s Major Spoilers Podcast showcased the Major Spoilers crew’s thoughts on Jeph Loeb & Tim Sale’s ‘Daredevil: Yellow,’ a discussion which kept referencing Frank Miller’s epic run on the title at the dawn of the 80′s.  As the only one of the crew who read comic books circa ’82 (the other MSP hosts being busy as either an athlete or a gleam in a couple of young mens’ respective eyes) I thought it was high time to take a trip back to the Bronze Age and check out one of the darkest chapters in DD’s about-to-get-much-darker superheroic career.

NYCC’11: More Sin City comics on the way

At the Legendary Comics panel at the New York Comic Con, Frank Miller confirmed that new Sin City stories were on the way.  Miller also confirmed that he has “every intention of doing them with Dark Horse.”

With a new movie supposedly in production, and knowing that Dark Horse couldn’t keep Sin City trades on the shelf during the first movie’s release, I expect both Miller and Dark Horse are busy figuring out ways to make maximum dollars on this still very hot property.
