About this deal

In 2017 Miller announced he was writing a Superman: Year One project with artwork by John Romita Jr. If I allowed my characters to express only my own attitudes and beliefs, my work would be pretty darn boring. Written and drawn by Frank Miller by Frank Miller (with inspired inking by Klaus Janson and beautiful watercolors by Lynn Varley), Batman: The Dark Knight revolutionized the entire [archetype] of the super hero.

There was just one particular line in it where one of the Spartan soldiers—I'll remind you, this is Spartans that we're talking about—one of them was talking disparagingly about the Athenians, and said, ‘Those boy-lovers. It chronicles the travails of the titular figures but, as he told Vulture, not in the way you might expect. While adaptations of literary works are judged (often superfluously) by their faithfulness to the original stories, adaptations of graphic novels are, by nature, even more limited: They’re judged also by their adherence to the original imagery.This is in addition to the 88,000 copies already sold since the initial volume was released in 1999.

bom, mas esperava mais, nomeadamente quando comparado com o filme homónimo que consegue ir bastante além em termos visuais. told Daredevil's origins differently from in the previous comics, and they provided additional detail to his beginnings. Featuring the watercolor talents of painter Lynn Varley, 300 marks the first collaboration for these two creators since 1990's Elektra Lives Again. Daredevil's New York, under Frank's run, became darker and more dangerous than the Spider-Man New York he'd seemingly lived in before. When one of the soldiers stumbles, he is brutalized by one of his superiors, but Leonidas shows off his strength of character when he steps in and knocks out the superior, sparing the young soldier.What Miller has done here is simply to have retold the incredible story of King Leonidas and his 300 Spartan soldiers starring down certain death to defend their home against absolutely impossible odds in a manner that people of our current time and culture can easily understand and become enveloped in.

In every Look Back, we examine a comic book issue from 10/25/50/75 years ago (plus a wild card every month with a fifth week in it). Miller has an iconic style that has evolved over the years, but this series hearkens back to his work on the original 300 and to an extent Sin City.The idea is to defend a stronghold which prevents them being overwhelmed by the sheer number of the Great Persian army led by Xerxes. The end result is a highly stylized, gripping, fun, and compelling version of this tale - redesigned and told through the mind's eye of one of today's undeniable leaders in the field of graphic story telling.
