Push the Wall: My Life, Writing, Drawing, and the Art of Storytelling, (Hardcover)

<b>From the all-time bestselling mind behind <i>Batman: The Dark Knight Returns</i>, <i> Daredevil</i>, <i>300</i>, and <i>Sin City</i>, <i> Push the Wall</i> is part memoir, part master class for budding artists and writers by one of the greatest living creators whose work has influenced pop culture for decades.</b> <p>Frank Miller is our greatest living comic book writer and artist. </p><p> Frank Miller shares his life, and through, his artistic process. Miller's artistic influence is evident in so very much of our popular culture, perhaps most notably with Batman--every film adaptation from the past forty years has been influenced by Miller's work with the dark knight. </p><p> Simply, Frank Miller has transformed the way comics are told. </p><p> Here, Frank's mix of autobiographical lessons evokes Patti Smith's <i>Just Kids</i> as it weaves his struggles as a seventeen-year-old kid fresh from Vermont into a seedy 1970s New York City with his eventual success on reimagining <i>Daredevil</i> and <i>Wolverine</i>. From there to Miller's rescue and revitalization of <i>Batman</i>, to his time in Hollywood, the <i>Sin City</i> comics and film adaptations he would codirect, and the retelling of the Spartans' last stand in <i>300.</i> Miller, by constantly challenging himself as an artist and writer on his terms, built an iconoclastic career. </p><p> With over a dozen illustrations of Miller's art, <i>Push the Wall</i> is the work of his career--it is a masterclass as it encapsulates his life in sixteen lessons for the aspiring creative reader.</p>
