Frank Miller's Sin City Library I: Books: Frank Miller

Amazon.com: Frank Miller's Sin City Library I: Books: Frank Miller: "In this massive collection you get the first four Sin City graphic novels housed in a black slipcase with the Sin City logo in red foil. The volumes presented here are in hardcover format in a larger than normal size. Think of the DC Absolute hardcover series; these books are just slightly smaller than that format. As if the extra large presentation weren't enough, the page stock has been significantly upgraded. The pages are as thick as the typical Sin City cover stock, and ultra-glossy, which is ideally suited for Miller's dynamic black and white artwork. Each page becomes fine art. I was extremely pleased with my original Sin City hardcovers and paperbacks, but they just pale in comparison to the quality of this package. This really is the ultimate Sin City reading experience."

Ronin: Books: Frank Miller

Amazon.com: Ronin: Books: Frank Miller: "This story comes across much better than the parts would suggest. It has elements of fantasy, history, and science fiction woven together. It's an eco-catastrophic world with clean, livable enclaves for the few. It has demons, heroes, and some who tried and failed. A lesser writer would have made those parts sound like a formula: 'Attach Hero (a) to Villain (b), then connect the Mysterious Source of Vast Power (c).'"

Daredevil by Frank Miller & Klaus Janson Omnibus: Books: Frank Miller,Roger McKenzie,David Michelinie,Klaus Janson

Amazon.com: Daredevil by Frank Miller & Klaus Janson Omnibus: Books: Frank Miller,Roger McKenzie,David Michelinie,Klaus Janson: "As the artist for Spectacular Spider-Man, the then basically unknown Frank Miller took on the job as penciler for Daredevil; which was one of Marvel's more maligned titles at the time. Eventually he also began to write the book, and that's when the magic really started to happen. What's collected here in this Daredevil Omnibus is Miller's complete, legendary run on Daredevil in which he reinvents characters from the ground up. Adding some spice to creator Stan Lee's original vision of Daredevil's origin, Miller is also noted for the introduction of Elektra; the ninja assassin and Matt 'Daredevil' Murdock's life long love who is now his adversary. "

Inquest opens into ’spy’ billionaire’s death

Jetcity � Blog Archive � Inquest opens into ’spy’ billionaire’s death : "I have a feeling this would be my true vocation, meaning espionage. Anyway, a billionaire Mossad spy in Egypt, if that’s not cool I don’t know what is. This is the kind of idea fiction writers lust after but can’t touch. Plausible, complex and full of possibilities. Throw in some hot sex and gun play and Tom Clancy would wish I he had thought of it first. "

Taxi Driver Screenplay

TRAVIS BICKLE, age 26, lean, hard, the consummate loner. On
the surface he appears good-looking, even handsome; he has a
quiet steady look and a disarming smile which flashes from
nowhere, lighting up his whole face. But behind that smile,
around his dark eyes, in his gaunt cheeks, one can see the
ominous stains caused by a life of private fear, emptiness
and loneliness. He seems to have wandered in from a land
where it is always cold, a country where the inhabitants
seldom speak. The head moves, the expression changes, but
the eyes remain ever-fixed, unblinking, piercing empty space.
