Those in search of good comic reads look no further! David Brothers and pals have taken it upon themselves to dissect the works of Mr Frank Miller in a week long celebration named after an odds & sods Sin City collection. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Booze, Broads and Bullets! As the title suggests, these essays concern not just the acknowledged classics; toes are dipped into all sorts of under-examined waters.
I haven't yet had the chance to consume the lot, but standouts thus far include:
Supervillain's Sean Witzke on Miller the writer, and the language of psychosis as seen through the overlooked Daredevil: Love and War.
Tim Callahan thrashes about with Nativity, a back-up feature from Walter Simonson's natty Orion run. Miller draws a mean Darkseid. Big feet!
David Brothers on Miller's 9/11 reaction piece I'm Sick of Flags.
Chad Nevett noodles on the romance of Sin City: That Yellow Bastard.
and Tim O'Neil examines last cases and Bat iconography in The Tao of Miller.
A full index of this project is available here.
