This page came about because of my boyhood obsession with elaborate fight scenes rendered by Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko. Those sequences where Spider-Man would acrobatically twist about as the Ringmaster and his Circus of Crime flailed and tumbled about after him in vain.
Or, you know, those Captain America bits where he methodically deconstructed Batroc the Leaper and his silly, silly moustache.
My first exposure to this cinematic style of fisticuffs was in the Frank Miller/Klaus Janson run on Daredevil. I constantly reread the pieces where DD would smack the crap outta Bullseye or The Hand with thrilling gusto.
These last couple of pages were my attempt to recreate that kind of kinetic fervor.
They might've pulled it off better if I decided to use my ruler properly. Looking at your old artwork all over again hurts, boys and girls.
