See, I know I don’t probably won’t like today’s issue of Daredevil. However! We are now one more issue closer to the end of this run, so I can at least celebrate that.

#daredevil #daredevil comics #marvel #marvel comics #matt murdock #it’s still not as bad as some of the DG Chichester stuff from the nineties but I still really don’t vibe with it #shadowland vibes #pointless misery #making Matt unhappy isn’t enough for a compelling narrative

Doctor Zero 1-5 (1988)

By DG Chichester, Margaret Clark. Art by Denys Cowan & Bill Sienkiewicz. 

Covers by Bill Sienkiewicz, Kevin Nowlan and others.

Doctor Zero is just one series in an interlocked line of comics, called Shadowline. It’s a bit difficult to understand what’s going on in the first issue. The story follows several disparate events, a US bombing raid in Libya, nuclear terrorists on the Empire State Building, missile attack on World Economic Forum in Davos. The common thread is Doctor Zero, who seems to be orchestrating the events from behind the scenes. He sets the wheels in motion, only to show up, last minute, and save the day. In a way, this is the most obvious way to be a superhero in the world. The idea of ‘patrolling’ the streets seems impossible. How do you patrol the streets of a city of millions? The police force can’t even keep up! By setting up events himself Doctor Zero can easily ‘superhero’ them. He knows what’s coming, and he’s prepared, not only for the event, but the media frenzy that follows.

He’s got all the trappings of a superhero, a costume, powers; but Doc Zero seems to have an agenda all his own. Being a superhero seems to be part some kind of nefarious plan he’s been concocting from the ‘shadows.’ For you see, he, and ones like him, have been living in the shadows for a long time. They appear to be a parallel race of humans that have a variety of powers. Sort of like mutants or Inhumans. Anyway, as Doc Zero is engineering another superhero event in Africa, he is ambushed by St. George—another one of these shadow beings. Doc Zero kills St. George, and appears to suck-out her energy. Maybe he’s an energy vampire? Hard to tell. We’ll have to find out in the next issue.

As the series continues, Doc Zero is revealed to be an immortal (or at least very ancient) who has been around the planet since before humanity evolved. In fact in one caption, he says he walked on Gondwana, which would make him several hundred million years old(!!!). Maybe ‘zero’ means he’s the oldest of the Shadowline beings? His Machiavellian machinations are some kind of god-like need to intervene in human affairs. We need saving, and we know not what we do. These kinds of proclamations are frequent with Doc Zero. He clearly has a god-complex.

Occasionally there are hints of something else. For example, Doc Zero also swims with dolphins. He seems to be a good friend of dolphin-kind, who, according to him, “flaunt their abilities openly.” What does that mean? It’s never really explained. Of the dolphins he says, “I’ve reminded them of my offer to take them with me, when I go…” Go where? Is Doc Zero, and by extension, all Shadowline characters, alien? Or is this just another way to play with his godhood? It’s never explained in the five issues I read.

Art by Denys Cowan is awesome. These pages look a bit like his work in The Question, on which he was actually working on at the same time. In fact, Doc Zero is a dead ringer for Vic Sage. The whole package seems to be lifted from DC Comics. DC had a number of titles packaged in almost the same way: painted cover by Bill Sienkiewicz, and mature content inside. The Question, The Shadow, etc. Shadowline line seems to be conceptualized around the successes DC was having with anti-heroes and ‘real-world’ superheroes. In a way, this is a counterpoint to The New Universe, which also was supposes to be more ‘realistic.’ But New Universe was designed a lot more along the lines of Marvel’s main superhero universe, but with the constraint. Everything that happened in New Universe became ‘real, and unchanging history.’ It was essentially a new Marvel universe, but with consistency and constrained by ‘reality’ in a way that the main Marvel Universe wasn’t.

All issues (except #5) are drawn by Denys Cowan and inked by Bill Sienkiewicz. Each issue has a different cover artist. Apparently Shadowline used the same cover artist across the line each month. It gave the titles a nice visual unity.

Cowan and Sienkiewicz were also working together on The Question at the same time. The finishes on Cowan’s art are really remarkable. Sienkiewicz zeroes in on the strongest parts of the image unerringly. His black spotting is key. Once the basic blacks are spotted, and composition is secure, the rest can be whatever flights of fancy he deems right for the moment. He just goes balls out using all kinds tools and techniques with occasional odd choices. A messy perfection.

Look at that weird white-out mustache on the last panel of the left side of the spread.

[daresplaining]

Out of all the depictions of Matt's radar sense (comics, movies, cartoons, etc.), which depiction is your favorite? And/or which version do you think is the best version that best explains how his powers work and at visually depicting such a non-visual, abstract concept for a sighted audience?

    My personal preference is for abstract depictions of the radar sense with as few details as possible. There are a lot of different interpretations of this power, with very little consistency between them. Just in recent years, both the parameters and look of the radar sense changed completely between volumes 3 and 4 and volume 5. And it is very easy to mistake the radar sense for some version of sight, because it was essentially treated as a sight replacement in the early comics. There’s a tendency for creative teams to over-emphasize its usefulness, thereby downplaying the impact of Matt’s blindness. Since it is so inconsistent, there’s really no correct way of portraying the radar, but personally, for me, I like depictions that present it as abstract, chaotic, and lacking in detail. I’m going to cheat a little and pick two versions: one from the comics and one from an adaptation. In the comics, my favorite depiction is probably Scott McDaniel and Christie Scheele’s: 

Daredevil vol. 1 #308 by DG Chichester, Scott McDaniel, and Christie Scheele

    Scott McDaniel is one of my least favorite Daredevil artists– I find his work awkward and overly busy– but that actually works in his favor when it comes to the radar sense. It takes a second to figure out what this image is depicting because it’s so abstract, and that’s great, because it also requires effort for Matt to read and interpret what his radar is telling him. This is also one of the rare radar depictions that doesn’t employ some kind of color. The stark black-and-white helps to communicate the fact that this is a visual translation of non-visual input. 

    The cross-hatching radar effect used in vols. 3 and 4 is also very good. And Christine Hanefalk of The Other Murdock Papers has proposed my all-time favorite radar depiction idea: using auto-stereograms! I imagine printing costs and accessibility concerns would prevent Marvel from ever actually doing this, but for me, it would be the perfect way to translate Matt’s radar onto the page. 

    And the best adaptation is the movie’s: 

    Again, there’s almost no color, not many easily discernible details, and it’s extremely chaotic. This depiction also plays with the concept of the radar being sent out in waves, and thus with the fact that it’s easy for Matt to lose track of what’s going on around him in situations involving a lot of movement. It emphasizes the overwhelming nature of Matt’s senses. A particular stand-out radar scene for us is when young Matt wakes up in the hospital and experiences his hypersenses for the first time:  

    Here, Matt is sprawled on the floor of the hospital room, freaking out because of all of the sudden sensory input. I’m not a huge fan of radar depictions that can penetrate walls, and that’s kind of what’s going on here, but it’s also easy to interpret this as more than just the radar. It is presented as a visual representation of all of his senses getting jumbled up, all of the sounds and smells and radar mixing together, to the point where Matt can no longer tell whether he’s inside or outside. It’s really powerful and well-executed; a great depiction of Matt’s nightmarish experience before he learned how to manage his senses.   

    Trial of the Incredible Hulk’s radar is also a close runner-up, though it’s much simpler. 

    (You and some other people have asked for a post about Trial of the Incredible Hulk, and it’s also something we’ve wanted to do since we started this blog, so it’s coming, I promise!)
