300

Product Information

Set in 480 BC, Frank Miller's 300 retells the battle of Thermopylae: a battle that raged between 300 Spartans and allied forces against the full strength of Persian army. In October 2012, Joanna Gallardo-Mills, who began working for Miller as an executive coordinator in November 2008, filed suit against Miller in Manhattan for discrimination and "mental anguish", stating that Miller's former girlfriend, Kimberly Cox, created a hostile work environment for Gallardo-Mills in Miller and Cox's Hell's Kitchen living and work space. After completing the "Born Again" arc, Frank Miller intended to produce a two-part story with artist Walt Simonson but it was never completed and remains unpublished. These adaptations’ faithfulness has also given their makers some degree of cover with respect to their subject matter. The Spartans, essentially, became so culturally paranoid that they kind of ceased to exist because they didn’t read.

Interestingly, the artist had once sworn off movies of his work, not because of a bad experience with an adaptation but because of studio interference with his original scripts for RoboCop 2 [1990] and RoboCop 3 [1993]. This is in addition to the 88,000 copies already sold since the initial volume was released in 1999. The idea is to defend a stronghold which prevents them being overwhelmed by the sheer number of the Great Persian army led by Xerxes.Telling the story of the resurrection of Elektra from the dead and Daredevil's quest to find her, as well as showing Miller's will to experiment with new story-telling techniques. is an incredible accomplishment of art and storytelling and is one of the many reasons why Frank Miller is so revered in the literary world. Meanwhile, Ephialtes awakes from his suicide attempt and decides to betray the Greeks by telling the Persians about the existence of a small pass that allows Xerxes to attack them from behind. Needless to say once I found out it was based on Miller's book I sought it out and devoured it in one sitting.

By wearing its fidelity on its sleeve, 300 the film tried to inoculate itself against charges of craven topicality—the film couldn’t possibly be an allegory for the war in Iraq, its defenders claimed, because its story and images came pretty much directly from the graphic novel, which began to appear all the way back in 1998. In 1994, Miller became one of the founding members of the comic imprint Legend, under which many of his Sin City works were released via Dark Horse Comics. In the late 1980s, there was a major debate in the comic book industry that has now been mostly forgotten. The story then shifts about a year later and ends as now-Captain Dilios relates the heroic sacrifice of Leonidas and his Spartan comrades to his troops before the historic Battle of Plataea.New York City itself, particularly Daredevil's Hell's Kitchen neighborhood, became as much a character as the shadowy crimefighter; the stories often took place on the rooftop level, with water towers, pipes and chimneys jutting out to create a skyline reminiscent of German Expressionism's dramatic edges and shadows. In this issue the great longtime Daredevil artist Gene Colan was succeeded by a new penciller who became a star himself: Frank Miller. Because the Spartans are antagonists too, they murder their own kind, have nothing in mind except war, escalating bromances, and oily fights, and deem any soft, feminine, sensitive emotion inferior and stupid.
