Description*** WINNER, BEST OF 2020, PUBLISHED SPLASH / TITLE PAGE ***A personal grail that I’m truly humbled to own: the stunning end splash from Elektra Assassin #6 by Bill Sienkiewicz. This painted masterpiece features both primary characters Elektra and Garrett-- a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and alcoholic who becomes obsessed with Elektra-- surrounded by heavy artillery and sais, Elektra's deadly weapon of choice. A remarkable "Love and War" juxtaposition with the heart-shaped bed and over-the-top firepower. The heart bed and stunning red and black composition is perfect for Valentines Day, a celebration for lovers but also remembered for the brutal St. Valentines Day massacre in 1929. The artistic collaboration of Sienkiewicz and Miller changed comics forever, making Elektra Assassin among the best-remembered works of the 1980s published at the peak of Elektra's popularity following her introduction, death and resurrection in Miller's Daredevil run. With its groundbreaking graphic storytelling techniques, Elektra Assassin was written and painted for mature readers...a trippy fever dream, a winding commentary on love, sex, politics, drugs, and nuclear war. Some say it's a glimpse into the genius but conflicted mind of Frank Miller himself. Special thanks to my good friend Alex B who tolerated my inquiries for years. This Elektra Assassin splash is a cornerstone piece that I'll cherish forever. Social/Sharing |

Sienkiewicz broke off from the pack during the 80's forging a new path and opening up all manner of possibility in artwork and stortelling in mainstream comics. This piece is his vision and skill combined with that differnce making inner fire.
