As I noted above, no one other than Stan Lee seemed to know what to do with him. Though I probably should add that I based my entire recap above only on the character's Spider-Man appearances. I know Kingpin popped up in CAPTAIN AMERICA during Steve Englehart's run, so he may have appeared elsewhere too.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580725636327122073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105844689832543332.post-48662629566283839422017-03-27T16:42:02.162-07:002017-03-27T16:42:02.162-07:00Ahh, "KRESSH", the time honored Frank Mi...Ahh, "KRESSH", the time honored Frank Miller sound effect for breaking glass. The apex of which is probably the two panels in Dark Knight Returns that are merely that sound effect to indicate Batman breaking glass.<br /><br />And now the last piece of Miller's work on DD is in place with the Kingpin. Miller elevates the character to being DD's nemesis, and again, looking across his work on Daredevil, it is amazing how well Miller could build on his work in plot; he's laying the groundwork already both for the Daredevil graphic novel and Born Again throughout this run with the Kingpin. I had honestly thought the Kingpin featured more in Spider-man than he did-at the time, I honestly thought taking him as a villain was a big deal-but part of it might have just been how well Miller realized him. Of course I thought he was a big deal villain, Miller sold him as one.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00605826105741513741noreply@blogger.com
