  Alex Maleev - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alex Maleev is a comic book illustrator of Bulgarian descent best known for the Marvel Comics' series Daredevil Vol.
Maleev has a distinct drawing style of dark, grainy imagery, similar to that of fellow comics artist Bill Koeb, which gives his work the 16mm-camera look of old-fashioned documentary.
In 2006, Maleev finished his run with Bendis in Daredevil and planned a collaboration with the writer on a new ongoing Spider-Woman series.

 Daredevil #48 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
Perhaps the most disappointing feature this week is that artist Alex Maleev is drawing the villain, Bullseye, as he appeared in the Daredevil movie.
Alex Maleev is a very talented sketch artist, but his obscure style and Matt Hollingsworth's simple coloring contributes to the monotonous nature.
Maleev's stagnant artwork is there, as well as Bendis' usual pacing charade.

 Strange-Haven.com News -- Alex Maleev: The Devil's Artist
Alex Maleev is one of the creators helping Daredevil to shine each and every month from Marvel Comics.
MALEEV: It kept me away from the comics in general, I grew up chasing a football or rather keeping away from goal and a comic book in somebody's hands was a rarity.
MALEEV: It brought the existence of a Mac at my house, which took over me about year and a half ago and now I bring him the sleeper and morning newspaper every day.

 Daredevil #56 » PopCultureShock
Peter Parker’s discomfort at being without his costume is right on and the scene is capped with a good laugh on Dr. Strange, that maybe is a sly dig at his unexplained rash of guest appearances in a slew of high profile books.
Alex Maleev’s work remains strong and a good fit for the gritty plotlines Bendis has brought to this book.
Maleev is gritty and does a great job with characters and dialogue panels but his action is VERY static.

 Tannock.Net: Daredevil: The Murdock Papers
This is the final story arc for the creative team of Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev, whose run on this comic I believe will be known as one of the best creatives on any comic, ever.
Alex Maleev’s art is highly stylized, and takes some getting used to.
Most importantly, I think, is that Maleev uses quite a minimal and subtle palette, which is important to keep the noir feel.

 Review: New Avengers: Illuminati
Alex Maleev delivers, as always, producing a slick issue that hits all the right notes.
Maleev focuses on the human side of all these larger-than-life heroes, crafting both physical and emotional conflicts with equal skill.
Maleev also made the story seem more impressive than it was by lavishly rendering each scene, creating interest where lesser artists would have simply made it mundane.

 Daredevil #42 » PopCultureShock
Worse yet, previously Bendis has used entire issues to have characters analyze and agonize over one development but the conclusion of “The Trial of the Century” arc hasn’t even merited a mention in the two issues since.
Maleev also acquits himself well in the action sequences which in previous issues have seemed static and stagnant.
Bendis and Maleev are hitting on all cylinders mixing the best of their prior efforts while avoiding the few pitfalls that have marked their time on this book.

 Printer Friendly: Sunday Slugfest - Daredevil #76 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
Bendis and Maleev give Fisk a chilling air, partly by ripping off Hannibal Lecter, and partly through the Kingpin’s sheer, almost psychopathic, calmness even as his prison is attacked by an unknown paramilitary force.
Maleev’s style, with all its thick messy lines and rough edges, works well for scenes bathed in shadow, but it looks almost amateurish for this bright, daylit sequence.
Maleev’s murky fls bleed over every page, obscuring despite all the details, shrouding everything in a gloom that looks grubby, but never gothic or grand.

 iComics.com
Alex Maleev's art is a perfect match for Bendis's story.
Ever since his debut on a Crow mini-series for Kitchen Sink, Maleev's always seemed like an artist who didn't belong on superhero books; if he is going to be on one, though, Daredevil seems like a nice home.
The combination of Maleev's shadowing and colorist Matt Hollingsworth's work makes me almost think of John Van Fleet's painted work, which is never something to sneeze at.

 DAREDEVIL #57
A year has passed, and after a battle against a group of Yakuza which nearly killed him, Matt has disappeared, and Ben Urich is recounting everything he knows to a listener who has a surprising reason for wanting to find him.
It used to be amuse me that some fans (and obviously a few filmmakers) chose to see Daredevil as the nearest Marvel equivalent to the Dark Knight, but when he's done like this, it's no longer that obvious a joke.
The "balls to the wall" approach extends to the artwork, since Alex Maleev's work on this book in general and this issue in particular defies description (but of course, I'm going to attempt it, anyway).

 Fractal Matter » Blog Archive » Daredevil: The Bendis-Maleev Years
Some may argue that Bendis’ dialogue is too wordy, and that the pacing of the book is too slow as a result, or that Alex Maleev’s photo-referenced style is too stagnant for a superhero book.
The first story that Bendis and Maleev did was Underboss, which started with the apparent murder of the Kingpin, Wilson Fisk, by his underlings under the direction of mobster Sammy Silke.
The choreography does seem a bit stiff here on Maleev’s part, but his art has been so consistently good telling the story of the characters, that this somewhat stagnant action scene can be forgiven.

 TheFourthRail.com - Critiques on Infinite Earths   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Maleev brings incredible depth and realism to the book, but there's a gritty, noir quality to be found in his work as well.
The flashback sequences are especially eye-catching, as the backgrounds establish a dream-like (or nightmare-like, as is the case in the two-page spread) atmosphere.
I love how Maleev uses shadow to hide the title character's face away from the rest of the world.

 Maleev,Alex Books - Signed, used, new, out-of-print
Little do her killers know that Iris wasn't their only victim and now, with the help of the Crow, Iris must exact vengeance not only for her own death but also that of her unborn baby.
Daredevil is simultaneously faced with murder charges, a new girlfriend, being outted by the tabloids, the return of one of his deadliest foes, Typhoid Mary, and the Kingpin's attempt to restore his fallen empire.
Original Crow creator J. O'Barr collaborated with artist Alexander Maleev and writer John Wagner (Judge Dredd) for this chilling story about a farmer who is killed, along with his family, by a marauding band of ex-Confederate soldiers, only to be resurrected by the crow more than 100 years later to exact his vengeance.

 Daredevil - Marvel Universe - A Wikia wiki
Issue #26 (Dec. 2001) brought back Brian Michael Bendis, working this time with artist Alex Maleev, for a four-year-run that became one of the series' most acclaimed.
Maleev's harsh and grainy look is in contrast to Quesada's more cartoony lines, and distinctively reads like a marriage of Frank Miller's noir style and the pulp-magazine art of the 1920s and '30s.
Bendis and Maleev's final story arc, "The Murdock Papers", depict the Kingpin manipulating the FBI, Daredevil, the Black Widow, and Elektra over nonexistent documents proving that Murdock is Daredevil.

Part of that effect arises out of Alex Maleev's astounding work, a style far different from his Daredevil days.
Though he delineates the fantastic, Maleev does so in a way that makes all of them believable.
Nor has Iron Man ever seemed so implacable a shell as he is with Maleev's art, hiding a Tony Stark that may have a heart of steel, even if it is in the right place.

This is a superhero book that often plays itself off as crime noir and Maleev's cinematic eye, his ability to hold back and not overproduce his panels, is a large part of what makes Daredevil a success.
Most other artists would feel the need to shine a spotlight on the hero, to flail their arms with showy poses to try and prove their artistic merit.
There are few moments when Maleev is allowed to cut loose, but when he does, it's an explosion of visual verve.
