Frank Miller is one of the seminal creative talents who sparked today's onslaught of motion pictures featuring comic book characters and concepts. He single-handedly re-defined the presentation of comic book characters and heroic fiction with his grand-daddy of graphic novels, <i>The Dark Knight Returns</i>. Then his graphic novels turned box-office hits, including <i>300</i> and <i>Sin City</i>, proved that success does not always come wrapped in spandex.
