Elektra: Assassin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elektra: Assassin was an eight-issue miniseries published by Epic Comics in 1986-87. It was written by Frank Miller and illustrated by Bill Sienkiewicz. Though it features the Marvel Comics character of Elektra, it is outside of mainstream Marvel continuity.
The story starts out with Elektra in a mental institution in South America, attempting to recover her memory. She manages to remember that the Hand, followers of a Beast taking human form, gave her the Beast's milk. She sets out to stop the Beast, running afoul of several S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in the process--Garrett, who becomes her reluctant partner, Parry, a psychopathic cyborg, and Chastity, a strictly by-the-book agent. The Beast manages to get elected president, under the name Ken Wind (with a face resembling a grainy Dan Quayle photograph, whose resemblance is a coincidence, according to Sienkiewicz [1], but is thwarted by Elektra and Garrett.
