Waterstones Says

From Sin City to The Dark Knight Returns, Frank Miller chronicles his stellar comic book career with characteristic storytelling verve, recounting the innovations that make him a titan of the industry.

You know Batman.

But do you know Frank Miller?

In Push the Wall, Frank Miller chronicles the creation of his most iconic works such as Sin City, 300, Ronin, Daredevil, Wolverine and notably, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, which, alongside Batman: Year One served as the foundation for all Batman film and animated adaptations for the past forty years.

Miller reveals how he got his first breaks, how he poured his own life into his darkly realistic characters, how he fought against comic book censorship of the early 1980s, and how he introduced manga-style storytelling to US readers decade before popular anime and manga began tiptoeing into pop culture. Miller transformed the way comics are told and this is how he did it.

Push the Wall is a masterclass in the art of storytelling and an intimate look inside the mind and life of a creative genius. With over a dozen illustrations, chosen from seminal moments from Miller's art, and organised by the sixteen lessons that meant most to Miller, this reveals the man behind some of the most exciting stories of our age.
