    When Frank Miller took over DAREDEVIL, he told interviewers that his interpretation was going to be more lighthearted than Roger McKenzie’s had been. But as the femme fatale Elektra became a recurring character, that vision was bound to change. “Her presence led the whole series down a very dark path,” Miller said years later. “Because I was a kid in my 20s, and making up a sexy killer woman, it was bound to get pretty grim.” Miller had also been mugged—twice—since starting the series. “I never stopped loving the city,” he said. “But having a knife in your face can really change your day. The experience filled me with anger, and that translated right into my comics.”
