Frank Miller Biography

Frank Miller was born in Olney Maryland. He would soon move to Montpelier Vermont where he would grow up becoming a comic fan and eventually became an artist. Miller received his first gig as an artist in 1978 drawing “The Twilight Zone” for Gold Key Comics. This opened more doors of opportunity for Miller as he would soon be offered various jobs from DC Comics and Marvel Comics. Eventually Miller would stay with Marvel Comics and became a regular fill-in and cover artist. One day Miller filled in for “Spectacular Spider-Man” #27 and #28. Daredevil was a supporting character in these two issues and currently had a poor selling title. Miller would ask Marvel Editor-in-Chief Jim Shooter for the opportunity to work on “Daredevil” Shooter agreed and became the penciller for “Daredevil.”
He started his career drawing with Marvel's “Daredevil” title in the 1980's. He worked alongside writer Roger McKenzie and would insert his style of art into “Daredevil.” This proved successful as Miller soon became one of Marvel’s brightest rising stars. He made “Daredevil” so successful that it was upgraded to a monthly comic whereas it used to be bi-monthly. Miller took over full duty as both writer and penciller in issue 168 this was the first appearance of Elektra. Perhaps his most well-known and influential work to date was his next foray into writing/penciling; the seminal miniseries “The Dark Knight Returns” where Miller told the story of an older and darker Batman coming out of retirement to save Gotham City yet again. “The Dark Knight Returns” would become one of the biggest selling trade paperbacks and would remain on store shelves for over 20 years after its original publishing date. This miniseries had one of the biggest impacts in not only Batman titles but the entire comic industry. However it changed Batman comics forever as it made him become a darker character and also removed the 60’s television Batman from the image of Batman overall. It also revived Batman’s best friend relationship with Superman.
