7. Daredevil: In Love and War
Another Frank Miller work, this one is beautifully drawn by the ever skillful (and off-the-wall) Bill Sienkiewicz and features more of a presence in Daredevil's greatest enemy, the Kingpin. With his wife stricken by a mysterious disease, Wilson Fisk kidnaps the wife of a famous French doctor in hopes to coerce him into saving the mob boss' spouse. What follows is an enchanting, heartbreaking story fueled by Sienkiewicz's masterful pages and some of Miller's finest dialogue. If you want human, hurting, and desperate criminals,
In Love and War is a must-read. And while the artwork certainly isn't for everyone, it's a well-defined, stylistic masterpiece, especially considering what else was on the market at the time of its debut. Hell, it still holds up as some of the most original work by today's standards. What are you waiting for?
