It was on \u003ci\u003eDaredevil\u003c\/i\u003e that Miller gained notoriety, honed his storytelling abilities, and took his first steps toward becoming a giant in the comics medium. After \u003ci\u003eDaredevil\u003c\/i\u003e came \u003ci\u003eRonin,\u003c\/i\u003e a science-fiction samurai drama that seamlessly melded Japanese and French comics traditions into the American mainstream; and after that, the groundbreaking and acclaimed \u003ci\u003eBatman: The Dark Knight Returns\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBatman: Year One\u003c\/i\u003e, both of which not only redefined the classic character, but also revitalized the industry itself. Finally able to fulfill his dream of doing an all-out, straight-ahead crime series, Miller introduced \u003ci\u003eSin City\u003c\/i\u003e in 1991. Readers responded enthusiastically to Miller's tough-as-leather noir drama, creating an instant sales success. His multi-award-winning \u003ci\u003e300\u003c\/i\u003e series from Dark Horse, a telling of history's most glorious and underreported battle, was brought to full-blooded life in 1998. In 2001, Miller returned to the superhero genre with the bestselling \u003ci\u003eBatman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again\u003c\/i\u003e. Frank Miller continues to push the medium into new territories, exploring subject matter previously untouched in comics, and his work consistently receives the highest praise from his industry peers and readers everywhere. In 2005, with the hugely successful \u003ci\u003eSin City\u003c\/i\u003e movie release, codirected with Robert Rodriguez, Miller added a director's credit to his already impressive résumé and introduced his characters to an entirely new legion of fans worldwide.","brand":"Dark Horse Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46299776647397,"sku":"NP9781506728377","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781506728377.jpg?v=1767727640","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/frank-millers-sin-city-volume-1-the-hard-goodbye-deluxe-edition-isbn-9781506728377","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
