Running over seven issues in 1986, it was the ultimateDaredevilstory, taking Matt Murdock to hell and back. The beginning chapter was explosive, with Daredevils ex-girlfriend Karen Page trading his secret identity for a drug fix. This really was Frank Miller at his boldest. It was little wonder they worked together again a year later, onBatman: Year One. You might have heard of that one. Its not a bad read, by all accounts....

And the man himself has spared us some time for a natter about it… I guess my first question has to be Who is Virgilio Anderson? I wish I knew the answer. He is a man or a made up person, who knows? When Facebook allowed your name as the page address he took richardherring. Stephen Fry tweeted about seeing Virgilio Anderson on a ferry. Its kind of nice when it gets to that level....
Even thirty years later, Hollywood was still stuck on the single stage ship when depicting space travel. Happily the Friede has actually flown since,several times. A number ofmodel kitsof the BTA fighter are available, and its also apopular designfor hobbyist CGI modellers. But if you like art deco (which I do), this is bound to be a favourite.

Capcom gives the original Resident Evil yet another lick of paint, as it makes its Wii debut… Now its the turn of the Wii to host Capcoms classic survival horror.

Its in the second part of the book that things heat up....
