Join the visionary behind some of the most influential graphic novels ever created for a live conversation celebrating his new memoir, Push the Wall, alongside a deep dive into comics, cinema, gritty 1970s New York, artistic rebellion, and the craft behind his iconic storytelling.
The creator of The Dark Knight Returns, Batman: Year One, and 300 joins us for a deep dive into his life and art, revealing the inspiration behind his iconic comics and his secrets of storytelling.
Frank Miller transformed the way comics are told and reshaped popular culture in America and the world.
We will hear about his struggles as a fresh faced seventeen year-old kid in seedy 1970s New York and his success reimagining Daredevil and Wolverine: and of course, his transformation of Batman from a childish has-been into the gritty, noirish hero we love. We will head to Hollywood, hear about the Sin City comics and movies, and his legendary retelling of the Spartans’ last stand in 300.
We’ll discover how he got his first breaks, how he poured his own life into his darkly realistic characters, how he fought against censorship, and how he introduced manga-style storytelling to US readers decade before anime began tiptoeing into the mainstream.
Throughout, Frank will share insights into his artistic process, offering lessons for aspiring writers and artists drawn from a lifetime at the summit of popular storytelling. Don’t miss it.
