The noir hero is a knight in blood caked armor. Hes dirty and he does his best to deny the fact that hes a hero the whole time. – 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
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
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
