Filled from cover to cover with original Frank Miller artwork seen nowhere else, Frank Miler: The Spirit Storyboards gives readers unprecedented access behind the scenes of this holiday season’s biggest movie blockbuster!Presenting all of Miller’s hand-drawn storyboard artwork for The Spirit alongside his screenplay for the film, this volume is the most exhaustive exploration ever published of this comic book legend’s creative process.
Featuring fully inked and detailed line art in Miller’s inimitable, larger-than-life style, this book is a must-have for any serious follower of the comics form, and anyone interested in the timeless masterpiece that has inspired Miller’s entire career -- Will Eisner’s The Spirit.
“These ‘storyboards’ are unlike any I’ve ever seen before,” said Miller’s editor Diana Schutz. They range from intricate pencil sketches to ornate, inked and fully rendered illustrations that reach far outside the confines of the standard film aspect ratio. It’s been obvious for years what an incredibly talented artist Frank truly is, but these storyboards, coupled with his screenplay for the movie, provide an inside look at the challenges of directing a film, from right behind the lens, so to speak.
“Every single storyboard created for The Spirit movie will be painstakingly reproduced in this volume,” Schutz continued. “I’m sure even Will himself would have been delighted.”
