Listen now
Description
Wes is joined by award-winning comic book editor Joe Corallo and comic super-fan Eric Breen to review Frank Miller’s Daredevil and discuss the career of Louise Simonson. Frank Miller revitalized Daredevil with his gritty art and even grittier storytelling. He reintroduces the Kingpin to New York in Daredevil #170-#172, who quickly became Daredevil’s signature villain. Daredevil the character and the comic book series would never be the same again. (00:00) Louise Simonson is a creative dynamo whether it be writer or editor. She was one of the driving forces behind the greatest comic book run of all-times, Chris Claremont’s Uncanny X-Men. Weezie made major contributions as a writer as well: X-Factor’s Apocalypse, New Mutants’ Cable and Superman’s Steel. No matter where she went Louise Simonson made a lasting impact felt in comic books to this day. (52:11)   Support Thinking Critical at Ko-fi.
