Frank Miller's creative career began in the US comic-book industry
in the late 1970s, where he came to prominence drawing and/or
writing comics properties such as Spider-Man, Wolverine, Daredevil,
and Elektra. Miller then created Ronin, a science-fiction samurai
drama. Ronin is currently in development at Warner Bros. as a
feature film. After Ronin, Miller wrote and illustrated the
groundbreaking Batman: The Dark Knight Returns (an inspiration for
the 1992 feature Batman), which not only redefined the classic
character, but also revitalized the comics industry. Miller also
wrote Batman: Year One, which was a basis for 2005's Batman Begins.
Miller returned to Batman with the best-selling Batman: The Dark
Knight Strikes Again, and is writing All-Star Batman and Robin the
Boy Wonder. Miller introduced his noir masterpiece Sin City in
1991, and it became an instant sales success. To date, Miller has
written and illustrated seven Sin City graphic novels. In 2005,
Miller co-directed with Robert Rodriguez the feature film Frank
Miller's Sin City. 300, the award-winning graphic novel of the
Spartans at Thermopylae by Miller (with Lynn Varley), was initially
serialized in 1998. The Warner Bros. feature-film adaptation of 300
smashed box-office records this year. Miller also collaborated with
illustrator Geofrey Darrow to create Big Guy and Rusty the Boy
Robot (which was adapted as an animated television series) and Hard
Boiled (currently in development as a feature film) and with Dave
Gibbons to create Give Me Liberty. Currently, Miller is writing the
screenplay for upcoming Lions Gate Entertainment feature film Will
Eisner's The Spirit, which he is scheduled to direct. (C) 2007 Red
