A story of defiance against
tyranny and valor against impossible odds--Frank Miller's 300 The armies
of Persia--a vast horde greater than any the world has ever known--are
poised to crush Greece, an island of reason and freedom in a sea of madness
and tyranny. Standing between Greece and this tidal wave of destruction
is a tiny detachment of but three hundred warriors. But these warriors
are more than men--they are Spartans!
Frank Miller's epic retelling
of history's supreme moment of battlefield valor is a glorious hardcover
volume--each oversize page encompasses what was originally a double-page
spread, greatly enhancing the graphic and narrative power of this immortal
tale of heroic sacrifice. Story and art by living comics legend Frank Miller,
painted by Lynn Varley. |

THE
DARK KNIGHT RETURNS |

Paperback: 224 pages
10th Anniversary Edition
DC Comics
ISBN: 1563893428 |
$14.95
|
| This book electrified
the industry in 1986 as comics' first "crossover hit," and started the
movement towards revisionist superheroes. Miller's dark psychological portrait
of the Caped Crusader gave notice to the world that comic books could be
for adults (and served as the basis for Tim Burton's film Batman), but
it's his stunning noir-influenced artwork and Lynn Varley's subtle, intense
coloring that make this one a true comics classic. |

but with all the magnified detail that you always wanted to see. Miller's
buoyant script and Darrow's amazingly intricate artwork grab you by the
scruff of your neck and throw you headfirst into the fray! And the deluxe,
oversized format makes the dazzling graphics seem even bigger than a movie
screen! |

Marvel Books
ISBN: 0871358808 |
$15.95
|
| Frank Miller's
seminal work on the Daredevil series in the late '70s and early '80s constitutes
one of the greatest writer / artist runs in comic book history. The stories
stand up today as the perfect marriage of concept, story, and art--Miller
really knows when to be fantastic and when to ground the book in gritty
reality. This volume comprises a five issue arc (issues 169 - 172 and 180
in the original Daredevil series) that pits DD against the Kingpin and
arch-nemesis Bullseye, setting up events and characters that would echo
through the title for years. |

| Daredevil found
new life under the pen and pencil of Frank Miller, and his vision of the
Man Without Fear is highlighted in this third volume, collecting the complete
run. In this collection, Daredevil once more takes on New York City's criminal
underworld, angered over the prevalence of drugs in the schools. Along
the way, he has to first compete against and then fight the Punisher, who
has a deadlier method for dealing with pushers. |
| Daredevil also
finds himself foiling the Kingpin of crime's latest machinations while
precariously handling a crumbling relationship with Heather Glenn.
When the dangerous Hand return
from Japan, Daredevil needs help but his last ally against them, Elektra,
is dead. Coming to his aid is the Black Widow, an old lover, who only further
complicates Daredevil's emotions. |

Elektra:
Assassin |
| by Frank Miller & Bill Sienkiewicz |
Paperback: 264 pages
Marvel Books
ISBN: 0871353091 |
|
$24.95
|
| During the mid
to late 80's Frank Miller was at his prolific best, pushing back the boundaries
of what comics could be with the likes of Ronin, Batman: The Dark Knight
Returns, Batman: Year One, Hard Boiled, and Daredevil: Born Again. These
were all good, old-fashioned, fast-paced action/adventure stories bursting
with crackling dialogue, gripping drama and oh-so dry humour, told in a
new and innovative way. Elektra: Assassin is different from these other
comics. |
| There are no
likeable characters, the first chapter won't make any sense and the dumb-witted
hero looks like an ugly porn star from the seventies. Also, it doesn't
help when Elektra, the heroine of the piece only has about two lines of
dialogue to utter throughout the entire length of the book. You won't like
it the first time you read it. It doesn't care if you like it or not.
It is however, one of the
most incredible comic books that you will ever read. Totally surreal in
its' intent, this is Marvel comics on acid. Its' remarkable illustrator
Bill Sienkiewicz uses everything in his considerable armoury ranging from
traditional fine art painting methods to Crayola crayons in order to tell
a very intricately crafted, yet effortlessly beautiful story. In truth
it is more his book than it is Frank Miller's. While reading, you can feel
the raw energy as the two creators; both on the top of their game spark
off each other and propel themselves onto a higher plane of creativity.
This comic book truly does push back the boundaries further than they have
ever been pushed before or since.
Also included: Telepathic
Ninjas, Homicidal Androids, Demons from Hell, flying blue dwarves and Nuclear
War. |
