Ronin No. 4 Cover by Frank Miller
I missed most of Frank Miller‘s first run on Daredevil (though I would later acquire them as back issues). Being a DC fan, the news of Miller leaving Marvel to come to DC to work on his own project – Ronin – was exciting. Things got even better when we saw sample art from the first issue.
Once it was released, reaction to the six-issue series was largely mixed. Personally, I loved it then, and it continues to be one of my favourites because of the chances both Miller and DC took in bringing it to market in 1983. And let’s also not forget the stunning contribution of colourist Lynn Varley.
I came across a scan of an alternate cover to issue 4, and it gets the colour and packaging treatment here.
