Im a comic book artist. So I think to myself, what do I like to draw? I like to draw hot chicks, fast cars and cool guys in trench coats. So thats what I write about. – Frank Miller
It was said Daredevil grew up in Hells Kitchen, an amazing name for a neighbourhood. But that opened a Pandoras box of all the crime stuff I wanted to do. I borrowed liberally from Will Eisners The Spirit and turned Daredevil into a crime comic. – Frank Miller
When you think of what Americans accomplished, building these amazing cities and all the good its done in the world, its kind of disheartening to hear so much hatred of America, not just from abroad, but internally. – Frank Miller
I grew up on the crime stuff. Spillane, Chandler, Jim Thompson, and noir movies like Fuller, Orson Welles, Fritz Lang. When I first showed up in New York to write comics back in the late 1970s, I came with a bunch of crime stories but everybody just wanted men in tights. – Frank Miller
