While it’s not without its moments of greatness (Wood, Colan, etc) and always possessed of something special, the more I read of the pre-Miller DAREDEVIL, the more amazed I am that the book stayed in print for the 14-15 years between DD’s creation and Miller's defining of the character: doubtful we’d’ve made it to the red costume had he been created in today’s publishing milieux.
Need to recognize that I'm really playing outside my normal wheelhouse, going for what I've always wanted to do (even if I didn’t know it), and that it's going to take time. Let it: it will come to me. Probably.
