![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ISBN 9781569714027 (978-1-56971-402-7) Hardcover, Dark Horse Books. Writer-artist Frank Miller and colorist Lynn Varley retell the battle of Thermopylae in the exciting and moving graphic novel 300. Now, Miller's work on the crime books of Sin City are fun.delightful to look at, but frankly, every one basically seems to be a rehash of the same story of tough guys, tough babes, and.I was asleep already by the third outing.īut here-!! with 300! Not only did he break some ground in genre (for this sort of material hasn't been covered except for the wonderful work in the indy title AGE OF BRONZE, an ongoing series elsewhere to be noted), but the visuals in 300 are stunning, and the joy of this book is that as you open this book up and lay it flat out, every opened page laid flat is a complete page to look at. 300 (9781569714027) by Frank Miller Lynn Varley. Marking Miller's first collaboration with watercolor artist Lynn Varley ( Ronin, The Dark Knight Returns ) in over a decade, 300 was a gritty reimagining of a battle in which three hundred Spartan soldiers fought to hold back the entire Persian army. We got Sin City, his crime noir dramas in the pages of Dark Horse comics. In 1998, Frank Miller shook the comics world with his groundbreaking series 300. All great stuff!Īfter those high points, what could the young turk follow it up with? This was a delightful turn of theme for Frank Miller who hit the ground hard and fast with his early Daredevil comics, followed up rapidly by his outstanding work on Batman The Dark Knight Returns and his Ronin series. OK, I'm not up on my 'ages'-but chances are this was the bronze age (not the 1970s of comic books),hence 'it bronzes!' ![]()
