By Devon Sanders I'm loyal to nothing, General—except The Dream. –Frank Miller's Captain America in Daredevil: Born Again (1986) With those eight words, at 14 years old, writer Frank Miller showed me what type of American I wanted to be This Captain America was a steadfast believer in the American Dream and what it should mean[...]

But he is a fan of Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller.

You would think by now that a group calling themselves Cinema Sins would have already gotten around to a movie called Sin City... but with upcoming

(I really do want to write F.F…); Mike Mignola's Hellboy; Frank Miller's Sin City, The Dark Knight Returns I often start people who never read a comic off with The Dark Knight saying, "If you don't get this, you probably don't get comics." There's also an 80's graphic novel called Blood by Jon Muth[...]

Those five seconds that you get with Mike Mignola or the whole team on the Star Wars books or a lesser known creator you're meeting for the first time, but he's sitting up there on the same stage that Frank Miller is going to be on, and you get to interact with him for a[...]

Frank Miller recast his Robin as a punk girl I recast mine as a black kid. Now, I want to bring up something tangentially related to that… something that most readers (outside of our letter column) haven't seemed to pick up on… is that Simon Cooke isn't really the main "hero" of the book[...]

Here we have some B-footage from the upcoming Sin City: A Dame To Kill For. This footage of course is against green screen, but it's interesting to see

Roving Bleeding Cool photo-reporter Corey Ransberg made it out to the Red Carpet Premier of Sin City 2: A Dame to Kill For at San Diego Comic Con and sent

Hilton Collins and Will Romine covered the Sin City: A Dame To Kill For panel at Comic Con, some good tidbits there from Robert Rodrigues, Frank Miller,Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson and Josh Brolin, so check that out) and now you can see the trailer that they saw: [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDW3r-yIKHU[/youtube] [...]

He's talking to the audience… playing around… Director Robert Rodriguez and writer Frank Miller are walking onto the stage Miller looks dapper in his hat. Rodriguez saw that Miller was doing breathtaking visuals and Rodriguez didn't see why he couldn't take a movie and turn it into Frank's work Comics and movies don't have to be separate,[...]

Which artists have influenced you the most – from both sides of the Atlantic? PS: My biggest influence is probably Frank Miller, whose Daredevil and later The Dark Knight Returns and Sin City permanently got lodged in my brain Superhero noir! The Devil's Concubine is heavily influenced by Risso's art in 100 Bullets, another great American[...]

So there's something of childhood rekindled in the experience of Dark Horse's newly released Robocop Versus The Terminator Gallery Edition of the work of Frank Miller and Walt Simonson as first released 20 years ago That's equally appropriate when you're dealing with two titans of comics, whose work makes you feel a little dwarfed anyway, but[...]

This clip immediately takes me back to… wow, 20+ years ago now, 1993, eagerly picking up the second storyline in Frank Miller's Sin City saga as it came out from Dark Horse   Take it away, Jessica Alba… [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n859dIV3m3U[/youtube] This clip immediately takes me back to… wow, 20+ years ago now, 1993, eagerly picking up the[...]

The Terminator by Frank Miller and Walter Simonson, two legends of the comics medium At twenty years since the first publication of the four-part series, Dark Horse are releasing both a Gallery Edition and a hardback graphic novel of the series that's based on the premise that the technology that built Robocop is actually the[...]

As I wrote before, it's also been a huge influence on American comics, bringing a more decompressed, cinematic storytelling style that has found its way to superhero comics after Walt Simonson and Frank Miller read it untranslated back in the 1970s and learn its techniques You can see the influence in Miller's run of Daredevil,[...]

We're doing it", pep talk in response to Snyder's ideas. The legacy of the stories looms large for Snyder, including the work of O'Neill, and Frank Miller They made him "realize that the stories can be intensely personal" Snyder grew up on the lower East Side in New York, not allowed to go to Times Square,[...]

If you disagreed with mostly left-leaning editors, you stayed silent. Well… Frank Miller got work If he wanted it A famously conservative comic book creator, with the release of the trailer for Sin City 2, he took to Reddit to talk about comics and film When asked, What is one superhero or villain you have always wanted[...]

Already given a premium editorial freedom in terms of the grim content of his Spider-Man issues, Todd McFarlane's Spawn wasn't hugely different, but did contain a lurid and pitch-black aesthetic that also owed a bit to Frank Miller and Watchmen While I like to think I was smart enough to avoid some trends, like the[...]

The Dark Knight shows a world that's incredibly cynical but still just barely capable of hope. Sin City When Robert Rodriguez set upon adapting Frank Miller's sprawling crime noir saga Sin City to film he did it faithfully and with Miller by his side The result is a visually unique story full of vivid, larger than life[...]

That's not to say the students knew the names Will Eisner, Jack Kirby, or Frank Miller, but they already had encountered many of the characters these creators had worked on. 2 Their knowledge of comics comes largely from the film industry. The greatest source of their comics knowledge, without question, was Hollywood While very few students had[...]

I just got my comp copies for the final part of The Many Murders Of Miss Cranbourne, my latest comic with Simon Rohrmuller, appearing in Dark Horse Presents. We reported before that the Eisner-winning anthology was going to be revamped and relaunched. And at C2E2, it went official, the monthly 80 page book rejigged into a thinner,[...]

And it's to one of their previous editions that they are returning with Frank Miller's Ronin, now recreated to resemble Miller's original art. Joining Ronin is Miller's other DC classic, The Dark Knight Returns. As well as Kelly Jones' Batman, Neil Gaiman's Sandman, Neal Adams' Green Arrow/Green Lantern and Alan Moore and Brian Bolland's Killing Joke –[...]

There are dozens of valid and engaging interpretations of the character and his mythos, from Adam West doing the Batusi to Frank Miller's infamous God Damn Batman So, in putting together a column on Batman, I find that I'm picking some stories that are collectively recognized and some that are just personal favorites Everyone that[...]

The original version of The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson may end up inspiring the upcoming Batman/Superman movie from Warners. But today we have another version, a private commission from Frank Cho. I think FRank Cho prefers Batman… The original version of The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson may[...]

I now imagine he might also have approved of what my best friend at the time had brought with him, the leather-bound Complete Frank Miller Batman Logic points to his having received it that Christmas, but I'm not sure. If Secret Wars baffled me in 1984, seeing pages from 1986's The Dark Knight Returns, which I[...]

The Sin City sequel, previously working under the much-too-short Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, has had a title change, and is now officially Frank Miller's Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. Miller directed the film with Robert Rodriguez, co-write the screenplay, and oh yeah, wrote the comics on which the franchise is based[...]

It is one of my favourite time travel stories. Indeed, for me, it reinvented the idea of time travel in the same way that Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and, later, Steve Moffat's Continuity Errors would do. And what Frank Miller created, and Walt Simonson so wonderfully executed was a very entertainingly visual way of showing the[...]

Frank Miller puts a target on what makes Batman Batman and he hits center (bat-logoed) mass Batman: Year One has inspired and impacted everything Batman from more than 25 years of published comic books to Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy But lest we forget, there's also David Mazzucchelli on art Mazzuchelli is comic book rock star[...]

The character was historically depicted as being crazy, and this was amplified considerably by Frank Miller's depiction of the character in his Dark Knight Returns comic series, which in turn informed Burton's treatment of the character (which thusly informed Jack Nicholson's approach to the character) The most memorable depiction of the Joker, however, was delivered[...]

Remember folks, out on Tuesday again… It does make me wonder more about that Frank Miller cover A dateline that suggests itself is that Frank was going to do an original piece, but negoitiations/timescales fell through, DC was forced to pull the cover solicitations, then realised that because this was after the Final Order Cut Off[...]
