The Suit Makes The Man
While drawing Daredevil in costume is always a blast I have to admit that having the opportunity to illustrate Matt kicking butt in his expensive suit was probably more fun than any of the super hero spandex stuff. Maybe it’s because it tapped into my love of old school noir strips and comics but also because as much of a bitch as it is to draw, I love working out the way different fabrics stretch and fold and the way light and shadow work off of them.
On these two pages, 13 and 14 from Daredevil issue 2, Matt is out of sorts and seems to be going a bit insane. Not only does he take out the would be mugger by tearing his ACL, but does so in much more violent fashion than he normally would as he allows the mugger’s taunts to get to him.
Behind The Page
As this sequence of Matt’s descent into lunacy begins, if you look closely you’ll see that the light reflecting off his lenses are sequentially representing all the stages of the moon. Yes, I like my Easter Eggs whether anyone realizes they’re there or not.
On the last two panels of page 14 you’ll see the silhouetted appearance of the three demon hockey stick kids from Kevin Smith’s movie Dogma.
Check out the graffiti on the wall of panel 4 on page 13. It might be hard to make out but you’ll see Miller, Romita, JR, Jr., Mazzucchelli and Uncle Al which is what Jimmy and I use to call our dear late friend, the LEGENDARY Al Williamson.
