BiographyFrank Miller (born January 27, 1957) is an American comic book creator, screenwriter, and director known for his comic book stories and graphic novels. He wrote Daredevil from 1979 to 1983, and again in 1986, with the Daredevil: Born Again arc. For Daredevil, he created the femme fatale Elektra and the ninja villains the Hand. Subsequently, he wrote influential Batman stories: The Dark Knight Returns (1986) and Batman: Year One (1987). He also wrote creator-owned series outside the major superhero franchises: Ronin (1983-1984), Sin City (1991-1992), and 300 (1998).
Miller is noted for combining film noir and manga influences in his comic art creations. He said: "I realized when I started Sin City that I found American and English comics to be too wordy, too constipated, and Japanese comics to be too empty. So I was attempting to do a hybrid." Miller has received every major comic book industry award, and in 2015 he was inducted into the Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame.
Miller's feature film work includes writing the scripts for the 1990s science fiction films RoboCop 2 and RoboCop 3, sharing directing duties with Robert Rodriguez on Sin City and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, producing the film 300, and directing the film adaptation of The Spirit. Sin City earned a Palme d'Or nomination.
In 2026, an autobiography titled "Push the Wall: My Life, Writing, Drawing, and the Art of Storytelling" was published by Simon & Schuster described as "part memoir, part master class for budding artists and writers."
