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.
Unlike many comic book series, his redemption is not an instant one.
There is no quick fix and as the seven-issue story unfolds, things quickly go from bad to worse.
Anyone associated with the man without fear is tarnished.
This was the era of Secret Wars and Mutant Massacre crossovers.
Marvel characters were forever appearing in each others titles to help boost sales and sell toys.
But thats a minor gripe, and besides Iron Man has only has a blink-and-youll-miss-it appearance.
Mind you, the less said about the recentBatman & Robinseries, the better.
Its Miller time, folks.
