Before "The Dark Knight Returns", before "Sin City," Frank Miller cut his teeth on old Marvel standby Daredevil.
"Gang War" collects some of Miller's early work on this title, which features Daredevil's first conflict with the man who would become his most implacable foe, Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin of Crime.
Miller's writing and art, while already in the upper echelons of the genre, fall utterly within standard comic book conventions. This is clearly a look at Miller during his formative years, as he learned the ropes in the medium he would later revolutionize.
Great stuff if you're interested in the evolution of the artist.
