One of my all-time favorite action sequences. So much of the time, hero battles are just pose and quip. Just offhand, some other really good ones are the Silver Samurai+Wolverine battle just before him and Mariko's aborted wedding, and the female Question in the Convergence tie-in starring Two-Face.
It was D.G. Chichester who brought Elektra back in "Fall From Grace," the start of the Jack Batlin era. If it was his idea or someone else's, I don't know.
I distinctly remember seeing another version of the Elektra/Bullseye fight with a few extra captions leading up to it, ending with "She supposes she must fight." The gist of them was that realizing she was about to kill an old friend from her past life was a gut punch that left her torn up about the course of her whole life (which means that the fight wasn't 100% fair, as her will to win and live had never been weaker). It could be argued that that's obvious from the pictures, but it could be just as easily argued from the pictures that seeing Bullseye and going back into the world of bloody combat re-energized her.
Think I saw the Bullseye page without any captions on it, either. Anybody know more about this?

Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
