	Frank Miller, comic book writer and artist-- Avatar Press
		Considered by many to be one of the primary architects of the modern comics era alongside the likes of Alan Moore and others, artist and writer Frank Miller is the innovative creator of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Sin City, Elektra: Assassin, and numerous other influential works.
		Miller got his start in comics in the late 1970's with a variety of short story work for titles at several companies including now-defunct publisher Gold Key's Twilight Zone (Twilight Zone #84 cover-dated June 1978 is often cited as Miller's first work), DC Comics' Weird War Tales, and Marvel's John Carter Warlord of Mars.
		The comics industry itself was in a period of rebirth during this same period, as comic shops began to spring up around the country in the wake of the early results of the direct market (non-returnable) distribution model.

	DragonCon Biography: [Frank* Miller]
		During the early 1980s, Frank Miller attracted further attention as one of the first comics freelancers who braved the field outside the comfortable world of company-owned characters with the creation of Ronin, a futuristic high-tech samurai pop adventure.
		A native of Montpelier, Vermont, Frank Miller became a professional comics artist while still a teenager, in 1977.
		It was during this period that Frank created the ninja assassin-for-hire Elektra, one of the characters with whom he is most strongly associated and to whom, along with Daredevil, he still periodically returns.

	Words & Pictures Exhibit - Elektra: Assassin
		And considering how established comic books have become in the public mind as a viable form of entertainment (practically everyone in American society has read at least one in his or her lifetime), Miller is amazed by the almost impaired rate at which comics and the entire industry has developed.
		Miller had been working professionally on comics since 1976, when at the age of 19 he moved to New York City from his hometown in Vermont to be closer to the publishers he hoped to work for.
		He’d written and drawn some of the most celebrated contemporary comics titles, and had enjoyed an enormous amount of cross-media popularity, considering how insular the field of comics creating tends to be.

	COMIC BOOK ARTIST POPULATES MOVIES
		Miller was influential in the "creator's rights" movement of the '80s, in which many smaller comics companies started publishing creator-owned characters.
		DC Comics awarded Siegel and Shuster a pension in 1978 and restored their credit as creators in order to quiet the stink the then-destitute originators of the daddy of all superheroes were raising around the release of the "Superman" movie, but the company emphasized that it was under no legal obligation to do so.
		Though nowhere near the success of "Spider-Man," whose sequel last year set a new record for opening- day receipts, nor of Marvel's "X-Men" and "Blade" franchises (even "Daredevil" and "Hulk" did well at the box office despite poor reviews), "Elektra" is one of several films due this year that owe a debt to Miller, 47.

	News > Interviews > Frank Miller
		Frank Miller was the second name I associated with comics as a kid, and Stan Lee was the first.
		Frank Miller is more of an enigma to fans of his comics work than he is a comic book artist.
		Miller: Well, if you picture a time when the world was ruled by mystics and savages, when the basic components of the world we understand today didn't even exist -- they didn't understand logic, they didn't understand democracy, and they didn't consider any human being to be an individual or free.

	Untitled Document
		The idea that there is this Frank Miller story that has been sitting around largely untold since shortly after the Dark Knight era waiting to be unleashed is compelling even to people who have a casual familiarity with comics.
		I was delighted to find that Frank and the studio were receptive to the idea, and once that was established it seemed the obvious way to launch the property in comics.
		While Miller's schedule would preclude him from rewriting the script for comics, and having an artist adapt the comic directly from the unused film script wasn't something Avatar was willing to do, so a bridge between the script and the comic was found.

	Thumbnail: Frank Miller
		Miller would continue to produce mostly creator owned work through the rest of the 90s, most often through Dark Horse, with works that ranged from futuristic tales of revolution in the Martha Washington series, to a story set in the distant past, the tale of damned Spartans at the Gates of Fire in '300'.

	Night Flight Comics·Frank Miller's 300
		Frank Miller's adventure series 300 is a riveting story of one of the most under-reported and glorious battles of the Persian-Greco war.
		Frank Miller's 300 illustrates the under-reported battle of the Persian invasion of Greece as no other has.
		While Miller has taken substantial creative liberties in reporting the details of his version of the Spartan King Leonidas and his army of 300 valiant soldiers, the events he describes are remarkably accurate.

	The Complete Frank Miller Daredevil
		Frank Miller, along with his contemporaries, was instrumental in realising that change.
		The Elektra story is both character and genre-defining: To paraphrase Miller himself on the Daredevil movie DVD (worth getting just for the excellent creators’ documentary on the second disk), this was rape and murder in a medium which people had hitherto assumed was the exclusive domain of kids and their wish-fulfilment fantasies.
		Miller helped open the market up to a more sophisticated and mature audience, rather than the child-friendly overly-simple fare that Marvel had been putting out for an audience which just wasn’t there.

		And finally, DC's Dan Didio: "Frank was instrumental in redefining Bruce Wayne as Batman for a new generation, and I for one, can't wait to see him bring that same level of clarity and interpretation to Dick Grayson and Robin.
		As Miller said, “This is Dick Grayson's initiation and he's dealing with a very stern teacher.

	Paste Magazine :: Feature :: Frank Miller :: Dark Horse on the Horizon (Page 1)
		Miller’s impact on comic-book adaptations jumps forward almost a decade and crosses over from DC Comics to archrival Marvel, which has experienced success on the big screen thanks to Bryan Singer’s X-Men and its superior sequel X2: X-Men United as well as Sam Raimi’s blockbusters Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2.
		Back in ’86, Marvel turned the reins over to Miller and the resulting Daredevil: Born Again—which mirrors certain elements of his work on the Dark Knight—fearlessly walks into the shadows of blind attorney Matt Murdock, the man behind the mask, as he’s stripped of his friends, identity and sanity.

	DVD Talk > Reviews > Frank Miller's Sin City
		It's one of the most literal adaptations of source material ever assembled, nearly a word-for-word, shot-for-shot, murder-for-murder counterpart to Frank Miller's original series (the bulk of which was published by Dark Horse Comics during the 1990s).
		I was hoping to find Frank Miller's original artwork somewhere on this disc, so it was great to see it featured prominently on the main menu (above, background).
		A handful of the first few mini-series were selected as the film's "chapters", a formula that worked perfectly: it would allow stories to unfold at their own pace, yet the consistent atmosphere would ensure that the finished product tied together nicely.

	Amazon.co.uk: Batman: Dark Knight Returns: Books
		Batman represented all that was wrong in comics and Miller set himself a tough task taking on the camp crusader and turning this laughable, innocuous children's cartoon character into a hero for our times.
		Frank Miller portrays Batman as very Human, and also adds the elment of age very well.
		Featuring apperances from Two Face, the Joker, Green Arrow, Superman and even a new Robin, this is a very cleverly written and well drawn tale.
