Frank Miller is one of the seminal creative talents who sparked the current gigantic sub-industry of motion pictures featuring comic book- initiated product. A sub-industry which had become a super-industry. This most profitable aspect of this millenniums film production, now producing an annual flow of box office profits in the Billions of dollars, was launched when Frank Millers graphic novel re-take on the classic comic book hero, Batman, resulted in an entertainment industry-wide reconsideration of the genre in the deeper and darker vision Miller brought to it.
Miller re-defined the presentation of comic book characters and heroic fiction with his grand-daddy of graphic novels, The Dark Knight. This revolutionary work
not only kicked off the series of Batman films based on his redefinition, but a craze for such material that has thrown dozens of such heroes into multiple film franchise heaven. Certainly chief among these has been Millers uniquely classical take on superheroic narrative, 300, and his Sin City books, each of which entered motion pictures with historic successes, and each now in Millers creative phase of achieving its highly-anticipated sequel. Millers co-direction of Sin City has made him one of the hottest
directors as well as a guiding creative forcefor the new genre. Or one might say super genre.
Millers latest graphic novel, Holy Terror, is his first original graphic novel in ten years. Join The Fixer, a brand new, hard-edged hero as he battles terror in the inaugural release from Legendary Comics.
