Elektra Lives Again

Elektra Lives Again is a 1990 graphic novel by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley that was published through the Marvel Comics imprint Epic Comics.

Publication history
It was innovative in that it was only available in a hardback edition (ISBN 093621127X). It was also a few centimetres taller and wider than the usual graphic novel. It has been reprinted a number of times (1991 ISBN 0871357380, 1996 ISBN 0-7851-0279-5), most recently in 2002 (ISBN 0-7851-0890-4), and would get a paperback release in 1993 (ISBN 0871357984). It was also included in the 2008 hardcover Elektra by Frank Miller Omnibus (ISBN 0-7851-2777-1), along with the Elektra: Assassin limited series and a number of shorter stories.

It was also the first time that Miller had dispensed with the inks of Klaus Janson pencilling and inking the work himself. In this it anticipates his later work from Sin City onward.

Plot
It is a spin-off from Miller's run on Daredevil and tells the story of the return of woman Ninja warrior Elektra from death. Over the years Miller has had a complex relationship with his creation Elektra having killed her off once but brought her back to life several times since.
