Comics as a form of graphic art appeared in the USA. Over time, pictures have become popular among people of different ages. Frank Miller created stories for fans of detective and criminal stories.
Starting conditions
Each person for a long time remembers the events that took place in childhood. Often these impressions serve as an impetus for the creation of a literary work or picture. Frank Miller was born on January 27, 1957 in a large Catholic family. Parents lived in a small town in Maryland. My father worked as a carpenter in a construction company. Mother worked as a nurse in a local clinic. The boy was the fifth of seven children who grew up in the house. Older brothers and sisters took care of the baby and helped him if necessary.
Frank grew up a calm and reasonable child. Considering comics was his favorite pastime from an early age. Once he was presented with a box of colored pencils and a sketchbook for his birthday. From this moment, the creative biography of the artist begins. Miller drew individual pictures and then pasted them into one brochure. The result was a comic book. He studied well at school. I spent all my free time drawing. Having received secondary education, Frank decided to move to the famous city of New York, where the offices of publishing houses of various profiles were located.
Professional activity
The young author brought with him several comics that he presented to employers as a business card. The creativity of the young author was appreciated and accepted by the staff of the Golden Key Publishing House as an artist. Frank drew comics for the Twilight Zone series for several years. The next step for Miller was the collaboration with the famous writer Roger Mackenzie to create the graphic novel "Daredevil". This new genre was in demand by the reading public. Outlining the plot using drawings, the author used the text in minimal volumes.
Frank performed the series of comic books about Batman under the general title Return of the Dark Knight in his personal manner. After the series was released, films about the “dark knight” in Hollywood began to be shot using Miller’s aesthetics. In the early 90s, the author began to implement his main project - the comic book "City of Sins." The work was based on the criminal roots and aesthetics of pessimism. Based on this graphic novel, the famous American director Quentin Tarantino made the film of the same name.
