Frank Miller began his career in comics in the late 1970s, first
drawing then writing Daredevil for Marvel Comics, creating what was
essentially a crime comic disguised as a superhero book. It was on
Daredevil that Miller gained notoriety, honed his storytelling
abilities, and took his first steps toward becoming a giant in the
comics medium.
After Daredevil came Ronin, a science-fiction samurai drama that
seamlessly melded Japanese and French comics traditions into the
American mainstream; and after that, the groundbreaking and
acclaimed Batman- The Dark Knight Returns and Batman- Year One,
both of which not only redefined the classic character, but also
revitalized the industry itself.
Finally able to fulfill his dream of doing an all-out,
straight-ahead crime series, Miller introduced Sin City in 1991.
Readers responded enthusiastically to Miller's tough-as-leather
noir drama, creating an instant sales success. His
multi-award-winning 300 series from Dark Horse, a telling of
history's most glorious and underreported battle, was brought to
full-blooded life in 1998.
In 2001, Miller returned to the superhero genre with the
best-selling Batman- The Dark Knight Strikes Again.
Frank Miller continues to push the medium into new territories,
exploring subject matter previously untouched in comics, and his
work consistently receives the highest praise from his industry
peers and readers everywhere. In 2005, with the hugely successful
Sin City movie release, co-directed with Robert Rodriguez, Miller
added a director's credit to his already impressive resume and
introduced his characters to an entirely new legion of fans
worldwide. The author lives in New York, N.Y..
