BIG FAVOR: I’m trying to find out ASAP when Frank Miller first agreed to do RONIN for DC Comics (and when it was announced that he’d be working for them, regardless of whether or not the title RONIN was attached). Probably CBG would have been the first to announce it.
Comics Journal #76 reports that Miller announced in July 1982 that he would no longer be writing Daredevil.
The ultimate question here is: did news that Miller would be doing work for DC come *before or after* the May 1982 announcement of Epic Comics?
If you know, please leave a note here.
Thanks!
UPDATE: Looks like Miller’s announcement was first—Jim Shooter responded to the news of Miller’s departure in a March 1982 press conference, according to TCJ #72.
But if anyone has additional details, from CBG or firsthand knowledge, please let me know!
