Two of my favourite Omnis! Everything Miller did with DD is classic stuff, but "Born Again" is one of the stories that changeg me from a kid reading comics into a comics fan. The Swedish translation of it was released in two magazines in 1988, when I was turning 14. I remember waiting for the second part (they came out three months apart), sneaking a peak on my way home and then finally reading it on my parents balcony on a warm June evening. It blew my mind! Superhero comics could be like this?! The story, the internal monologues, the art; all amazing. This alone makes Frank Miller one of the comic greats, no matter how hard he fell from grace afterwards.

Just finished these last night for the first time and I must say, damn. What a good read. I managed to get the main omnibus along with the first Lee/Ditko omnibus for a smooth $100 a piece. Probably my best find and prized omnibus possession. Personally, Born Again, and the Man Without Fear are exceptional pieces of work, it’s hard to pick one or the other. Really hope for everyone’s sake that this gets a reprint, because this is a must read for anyone.

The Daredevil by Frank Miller & Klaus Jason Omnibus was my first omnibus. I was surprised at how heavy it was and considered returning it. But instead I decided to give it a read, I’d never read Frank Miller’s main Daredevil run before, and I loved it. The entire experience. The size of the art, the details of the quality of Millers art, the continuation of issue after issue. The quality paper. It was all amazing. Now, a couple hundred omnibuses and counting, that might still be my favorite omnibus. It’s just so good. Everything about it is amazing. Frank Miller’s art has never looked so good. This is the perfect comic book.

Nice retro review. Born Again is my definitive Miller Daredevil, though Man Without Fear was my first introduction to the character in the early 90s. And, you know, everyone always points out the tragic love story with Elektra, but no one ever mentions the tragic love story with Heather Glenn, also going on at the same time.

Excellent choice for a retroview sir! I just re-read these volumes myself! CLASSIC, must read DD material for sure. I've picked this material up in multiple formats over the years. Fun Fact: the DM version of both volumes had the standard full dust jacket with classic DD cover images (DD#181 for the main omni and DD#227 for the companion). These have been reprinted a couple times in the past and only fell OOP due to the more recent release of the DD by Miller box TPB box set. I'd be willing to be that once the box set runs its course, we'll get reprints of these volumes again.

Edit: Okay, I don't have these first printings with the mini dust jackets, but they look really cool! Mine have the full DJs, and the red is a bit darker, so I'm guessing that was the second printing.

Great retro-view and i'm glad you did it on these books. Hope Marvel sees it and decides to reprint them as I'm missing the prime DD book. Such seminal and amazing work with Born Again and MWF as the highlights. Miller, Mazzachelli and JrJr were on fire with these stories. Weird design decision for the spines but i guess its because its "Miller" they decide to do something different?

I read it last year. Perfect build-up for Daredevil made by Frank Miller. His artwork is adorable, writing is excellent even by today's standarts. Unfortunatelly, i haven't The Man Without Fear, because in my country Daredevil by Miller, Bendis and Waid didn't sell well at all, so we don't have a Miller companion hardcover, but only 3 volumes of original Frank Miller run (and also Born Again TPB). I wish one day the local publisher release it, because i don't like reading in scanes and don't have so much money for english omnibus even without delivery. Great stuff!

I'm 300 pages into the Miller omnibus, where the first 150 pages were written by Roger McKenzie. I actually really liked McKenzie's issues and so far I'm not really seeing how Miller massively overhauled the book. The two runs seem roughly equal. Maybe Miller's genius starts to shine later in this book, but so far I'm feeling like McKenzie deserves more love than he gets.

It’s the change up and the building of the mythos that has long been established as part of Daredevil.
