In this post, I trace the use of costumes in Miller’s Daredevil: Born Again (1985), as it amplifies character and plot elements in a highly successful revision of the Daredevil mythology. In the mid 1980s, when comics creators were beginning to update the genre for more mature audiences, artists like Frank Miller and Alan Moore cast aside previously accepted costume traditions as they complicated the storylines and psychological motivations of their characters. As superhero comics evolved over the decades, the rendering of costumes-and their use as a story-telling device-also grew and changed. Often the portrayal of the costume in these comics parallels other themes within their narratives: Superman bears an alien symbol on his chest that recalls his origins on Krypton, Batman and Spider-man wear masks to protect their identities, and so on. Since the inception of the superhero genre in comics in the late 1930s, the powerful, crime-fighting protagonists have worn special costumes that distinguish them from other characters.

Hoff followed it up with a sequel, The Te of Piglet, which also became a bestseller despite receiving unfavorable reviews. Even though it received negative reviews at first, The Tao of Pooh eventually became a New York Times bestseller and helped popularize Taoism in the United States. He wrote The Tao of Pooh and his earlier book about Taoism, The Way to Life, on nights and weekends while working as a tree pruner in the Portland Japanese Garden. In his spare time, he studied T’ai Chi Ch’uan, Japanese tree pruning, and Japanese tea ceremony. After his graduation in 1973, he worked a series of odd jobs in fields ranging from graphic design and music to antiques restoration and investigative reporting. He inherited his father’s interest in Asian culture and studied Asian Art at the Evergreen State College in Washington. He also spent plenty of time sick in bed, which led to his love for reading (and especially the Winnie-the-Pooh books). As a child, he spent much of his time playing in the woods, which partially inspired his later interest in Taoism.
