Frank Miller

Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again
$19.99
I guess I didn't think I'd be given a BATMAN title written by FRANK MILLER one lousy star, but...it almost doesn't even deserve that. Good luck figuring out what is going on in this comic. Was Frank high on meth when he wrote this book? I like when people try new things and it actually kept my attention through the middle of the second issue but this thing totally falls apart. If trying something new means not trying then bravo. This feels like 20 other comics Frank was working on, cut up into pieces, put into a hat and drawn out panel by panel. Yay, fun, right? No. Doesn't work. Awful.

If you're like me, you've heard this was terrible but you'll read it anyway because you're curious. Well, go ahead, but nobody is lying to you. It is seriously horrendous.

Frank Miller's Bad Boy HC (Miller Cover)
$14.99
Dynamite Entertainment proudly presents a brand-new hardcover production of Bad Boy by Frank Miller and Simon Bisley! Bad Boy features Jason, a little boy who comes to realize his parents aren't his parents, and that he's part of a sterile experimental community. Originally produced as a strip for the British Edition of GQ, Bad Boy is now a powerful piece of graphic fiction as only Miller and Bisley can produce!

300
$30.00
300 is similar to Sin City in tone, violence, and characters. If you liked Sin City or enjoy Frank Miller's other work, this does not disappoint.

The book is a relatively quick read, but the artwork will have you stuck viewing page-a-day. At $20, its an inexpensive way to boost your art, comic & literature collections.

The Complete Frank Miller Spider-Man
$29.95
THE COMPLETE FRANK MILLER SPIDER-MAN is an odd yet satisfying collection, at least for those readers who know what they're in for. I consider it as a kind of companion piece for DC's leatherbound THE COMPLETE FRANK MILLER BATMAN, but less cohesive. This book was originally released as one of Marvel's early '90s high-dollar limited editions. Thankfully, it eventually made its way to this oversized, affordable hardcover format in 2002 so that cheap shmoes like me could catch up on Miller's contributions to the wall crawler from the late '70s - early '80s, and in full-color, no less! Miller serves as either writer or artist (but never both) on Spectacular Spider-Man #27 & 28, Amazing Spider-Man Annuals #14 &15, and Marvel Team-Up #100 & Annual #4, along with a 22-page cover gallery from Amazing Spider-Man, Marvel Team-Up, and Spectacular Spider-Man. The stories feature appearances by Daredevil (of course), Dr. Strange, the FF, Moon Knight, Power Man, Iron Fist, the Punisher, and the first appearance of Karma of the New Mutants.

Additional contributors are writers Bill Mantlo, Denny O'Neill, and Chris Claremont, and artist Herb Trimpe. There's some great stuff included here, from all creators. Just keep in mind that all of this work was produced prior to Miller's groundbreaking work on Daredevil and Batman. You can see Miller's signature artistic style developing, and even the one story he writes has a hint of the hard-boiled style that would become his specialty. As long as you don't expect complex storytelling or visuals on par with The Dark Knight Returns, you'll be okay.
