What does it mean to turn one of the great graphic novels of our time into a major motion picture? Dark Horse takes you behind the scenes of Frank Miller's 300 8/17/06

In 1998, Frank Miller shook the comics world with his groundbreaking series 300. Marking Miller's first collaboration with artist Lynn Varley (Ronin, The Dark Knight Returns) in over a decade, 300 was a gritty reimagining of a battle in which 300 Spartan soldiers fought to hold back the entire Persian army. The series won five Eisner Awards, including Best Limited Series, Best Writer/Artist (Miller), and Best Colorist (Varley).

300: The Art of the Film takes you behind the scenes as director Zack Snyder (Dawn of the Dead) adapts 300 to the silver screen. With 200 pages of production photos, concept art, and much, much more, 300: The Art of the Film is sure to delight Miller fans and movie buffs alike.

300:The Art of the Film was put together by creator Frank Miller and director Zack Snyder. It arrives on sale in January 2007 with a retail price of $24.95.
