Origin/1st app of the new Bullseye; Rich Buckler/Frank Giacoia cover; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 7 (CBI)Every hero needs a supervillain arch nemesis, one who not only presents an existential threat but an impassioned one as well. Enter Bullseye, a mysterious mercenary with elite skills in marksmanship who is the inverse of Daredevil’s more controlled and calculated demeanor. Created by Marv Wolfman and John Romita Sr. Bullseye became one of Daredevil’s most deadly foes, as Matt Murdoch’s extra-sensory perception make him the perfect counterpoint to an assassin who "never misses" thus inducing a psychotic obsession with the blind hero. Although he possesses no actual powers Bullseye has supernatural accuracy, resulting in the ability to turn any object into a deadly projectile with enough force to kill. Both Daredevil and Bullseye share an equal hatred for one another as Bullseye has killed two of Daredevil’s love interests making him more than a run-of the-mill enemy. To this day the sinister sniper has no backstory and has even gone as far as to invent horrific childhood tragedies for his own amusement. Fans of DD lore instantly gravitated toward Bullseye knowing that whenever he shows up an epic battle is likely to ensue. Bullseye appeared in the 2003 "Daredevil” movie, played by Colin Farrell, and was last seen in the Marvel Netflix show of the same name. With the number of appearances outside comics growing, Bullseye’s fanbase is getting larger with each passing year making this a book a necessity for comic book collectors and fans alike.
Artists Information
Frank Giacoia (July 6, 1924 – February 4, 1988) was an American comics artist known primarily as an inker. He sometimes worked under the name Frank Ray, Giacoia made the rounds to almost every Golden Age publisher, notably working on Flash and Batman stories, he also worked at Timely during this period. In the Silver Age Frank worked on many Jack Kirby pages, particularly in Captain America, and he also notably inked the first appearance of the Punisher in AMS #129.
Rich Buckler was an American comic book artist, best known for his work on Marvel Comics' Fantastic Four in the mid-1970's and for creating the character Deathlok in Astonishing Tales #25. Buckler drew virtually every major character at Marvel and DC, often as a cover artist.
Klaus Janson is a German-born American comics artist, working regularly for Marvel Comics and DC Comics and sporadically for independent companies. While he is best known as an inker, Janson has frequently worked as a penciler and colorist. Janson began working for DC Comics in the early 1980s and inked Gene Colan's pencils on Detective Comics and Jemm, Son of Saturn. Janson was one of the artists on Superman #400 (Oct. 1984) and was one of the contributors to the DC Challenge limited series. His collaboration with Miller on Daredevil would soon be eclipsed by a second collaboration between them, on Batman: The Dark Knight Returns in 1986. Janson inked the early issues of The Sensational Spider-Man which had been written and penciled by Dan Jurgens. Janson's work as an inker and occasional penciler at Marvel Comics includes collaborations with John Romita Jr. on Wolverine, The Amazing Spider-Man and Black Panther.
