D.G. Chichester in the context of "Elektra (character)"

Elektra Natchios (UK: /ˈnætʃiɒs/, US: /-oʊs/) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. She was initially created as a supporting character for the superhero Matt Murdock / Daredevil, to whom Elektra has functioned as a villainous adversary, love interest, and later, a heroic ally. Created by Frank Miller, the character first appeared in Daredevil #168 (Jan. 1981). Her violent nature and mercenary lifestyle has served as a divisive point of conflict between her and Daredevil, which, in 2020, culminated in her becoming the second Daredevil.

The character is a highly trained assassin of Greek descent who wields a pair of sai as her trademark weapons. Elektra is one of Frank Miller's best-known creations, and appeared in two miniseries he authored, Elektra: Assassin and Daredevil: The Man Without Fear, as well as a graphic novel, Elektra Lives Again, subsequent to her initial appearances in his run of Daredevil. The character was killed by Bullseye at the conclusion of her first story arc in 1982, although Miller re-visited the character in prequel stories and dream narratives. Although Marvel editors had promised not to continue the character without Miller's permission, she became a regularly appearing character in the Marvel Universe. The character returned to the Daredevil series in 1994 under the authorship of D.G. Chichester, who also wrote a four-issue miniseries with her featuring as the title character. She is the title character of three ongoing series: The first, written by Peter Milligan and Larry Hama and drawn by Mike Deodato Jr., from 1996 to 1997; the second, primarily written by Greg Rucka, from 2001 to 2003; and the third, written by Haden Blackman, from 2014 to 2015. She has also appeared as a supporting character of Wolverine and in other series and mini-series.
