FRANK MILLER: the introduction

frank miller: an american comic book artist, artist and director who created the sin city series (and obviously much, much more!) and is known to have a distinct style of creating film-noir comic book series. his first published work as an artist was for gold key comic's "twilight zone" issue #84 in 1978. it later followed some job opportunities at dc comics and then marvel comics. it was at marvel where frank miller became a regular fill-in artist and worked on different titles. while working on "spectacular spiderman" feature daredevil, miller wanted to go more extensive on the daredevil's character (at the time the daredevil was a minor character and never had any good sellings), so he asked his editor and began working on daredevil as a regular title series. as miller continued with the daredevil series with issue #158, he incorporated his film-noir style into the series and it proved to be very successful. the comic started to sell more and more and was produced monthly. miller even introduced the character elektra ino the daredevil series and she was proven to be a big hit. when miller decided to finish his daredevil run, he had successfully brought a minor character to the spotlight of a major character's role and made daredevil one of the most important comic book heroes today. he became well-known for his daredevil series and was one of the most sought-after comic book artists in the industry. he continued to write and draw for other comic books until he made it big with his own series, sin city in 1991. after its success, miller continued to work on more comic book projects and made it big again with his 300 series, a homage to the battle of thermopylae. he was inspired by the movie "the 300 spartans" that was made in the 60's and wanted to tell the story from point of view from leonidas of sparta. afterwards, he went back to dc comics and worked on the batman: the dark knight returns series. soon, miller was approached by robert rodriguez and was asked for permission to create a sin city movie. he became the co-director for the film and even had a cameo in the movie as a priest. the movie became a successful hit (obviously). miller's 300 series was also turned into a movie and became another success story in the film industry. now, miller directed the film, based off the comic book series by will eisner, the spirit. miller is also working on the production of sin city 2.
