Multiple Eisner Award-winner Frank Miller broke into the comics business during the late 1970s, landing a choice assignment on the series Daredevil and quickly made the title one of Marvel’s best-selling series. Miller has also had monumental success with his work on other iconic characters. In 1986, he made a splash at DC with the wildly popular and hugely influential Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, as well as putting a modern spin on Batman’s classic origin story in Batman: Year One. In 2005, Miller collaborated with Robert Rodriquez to co-direct Sin City, a film that was widely praised by both fans and critics.
Artist David Mazzucchelli begin working in comics during the early 1980s. In short order, he became the regular artist on Daredevil, first collaborating with writer Frank Miller on the character-defining “Born Again” story arc. Later, he re-teamed with Miller on the equally influential “Batman: Year One.” Subsequent projects have included Mazzucchelli’s independent anthology, Rubber Blanket; an adaptation of Paul Auster’s City of Glass; short stories for a number of alternative comics collections; and illustration work for publications such as The New Yorker. He is currently writing and drawing an original graphic novel.
