Well, maybe he wrote it because they insisted on bringing it back and he wanted to define how they did it. I know he did not want her brought back. Defiant1

If you have a source of where Frank Miller said this, I would love to see it. All I know is that Miller himself was the one that kept bringing back Elektra after he killed her. Here's a quote from the wikipedia entry for Miller's Elektra Lives Again Graphic Novel: Here is described the events of Daredevil #181 (Her death) and #190 (the first mention of a revival) both written by Miller: The Elektra: Assassin mini actually had nothing to do with her being revived, as this piece of the wikipedia entry for the book states: Considering the fact that Miller almost had her revived in Daredevil #190 and then also penned a graphic novel entitled Elektra Lives Again, I don't think he necessarily had a problem with the character being revived, at least as long as it was himself who wrote the story. I'm going to hazard a guess and say any objections he had to Elektra being revived were probably in reference to her being brought back in 1994 by a different creative team.

My guess is that I would have read it in the late 90's. Someone at this link is familiar with the same story I read.. marvelmasterworksfansite.yuku.com/topic/5589/ELEKTRA----definitive-information--explain----deadDefiant1

seems to jive with what I thought about him not wanting her revived unless he was the one doing it. I would assume Marvel wouldn't have had to honor any promise to Miller unless it was something added to his contract as she would have been created under the same work made for hire arrangement as other comic characters owned by Marvel were.

Not necessarily. This was around the time that creators were given more pay and control. The simple fact that Epic published this series tells me that Frank Miller owned something with regards to the content. Defiant1
