EXCLUSIVE: Legendary comic writer Frank Miller talks career, life, and “Dark Knight Returns” cover 

Frank Miller changed comics forever with Dark Knight Returns and Daredevil. He is a living LEGEND

“When I’m working on it this stuff is real to me, it’s real as it can be” this is why Franks work is powerful and at times transcends this medium.

This man is an absolute genius.

Glad to see him looking way healthier than recent years. Great in depth interview.

This guy is a comic writer icon. I’ve always loved his artwork on the Daredevil series.

Love hearing this man talk

Dark Knight Returns was groundbreaking and changed the possibilities of the medium.

I salute you, Frank.

The Dark Knight Returns is for me the best Batman story. Frank Milller is a comic book legend

w/ frank miller, you can count on getting great pacing, good stories, and "pushing the envelope" type approach to layout, use of blacks, and just creating the comic in general. i appreciate his hard work making all these books, ive enjoyed most of them,.....

Love that police/ambulance sirens are making an appearance in the interview...hey, this is Miller what did you expect

The Iconic Dark Knight Returns Artwork ended up selling for $2,400,000 (with Buyers Premium)!!!!

Yeaaah, new FM interview 💪

Legend. I salute you.

Awesome interview! thanks

FM remains the man yesterday, today, foe-evah.

So many fond memories of that period. What a great time for comic books. Between Frank Miller and Alan Moore, my world was blown. It started with DKR #1. I bought a copy. Treasured it. Never sold it. And the other day, I got back that exact issue after submitting it to CGC. I got it signed by both Klaus Janson and Frank Miller. After thirty eight years, I now have that original copy, bought when I was 18 years old, in an autographed 9.8.

There are so many more interesting questions this guy could've asked him. He gave him too much praise and asked him too many of the same questions. I would've asked him more about his inspiration for certain details and just about political satire and whatnot.

When the DK books 1st came out. I actually could not afford the $2.95 price. Mom was only able to give me a $5-10 budget. Unfortunatley for me, I chose the .75 cent comics back then. It wasn't until the 4th book came out that I decided to pull the trigger. Today it's still the only one I have from the original series.

He's going to get so much money for that cover art.

Excellent interview. Say what you will about his politics, recent work, etc his '80s work from Daredevil to Batman:Year One is the stuff of legend. No hyperbole. i was buying these comics as they appeared and each one was thrilling, fresh and inspiring.

I love Frank’s work and I’m always down to hear him talk about his work, but I’m honestly over the DKR talk. His catalogue is pretty deep, especially as a comic writer. I would have loved to hear about his time working with Geoff Darrow, or his thought process while he was developing Sin City. The interviews almost never touch on his independent work. The interviewers have only read his Batman work and it shows.

This is my first time ever hearing Frank Miller wow. I always pictured him to have a deep ass voice like Alan Moore

The Dark Knight Returns is the greatest. If not, the one of the greatest comic books of all time. I absolutely love Frank's work. I know any more people think Frank Miller is some fascist but really he is and he's really nice guy. I think they just kind of like to hate on him because he wrote a really great dark gritty realistic Batman comic and for that fact, I love that it influenced and he brought back The Dark Knight to where he should be exactly where he should have been from the get-go a dark realistic character and everything from Tim Burton movies to the Christopher Nolan films to the Zack Snyder films are all influenced by The Dark Knight Returns.

I'll be honest, thought it was Alan Moore posing with a DKR picture. Remembered Miller's intro way back in DKR 10th Anniv, wonder if Frank Miller still thinks of Batman as this older hero figure, unlike say Spidey. A question us older fans also ask ourselves when we're approaching Batman's DKR age.

This is fantastic

I wish I had seen this one it first came out. I noticed that Frank briefly mentioned the work of Hugo Pratt, but it never really seems to come up in any other interviews that I am aware of. That's a topic I wish I could hear more of him discussing.

Ok good interviewing sir 🍻

The DKR silhouette I think is inspired by Arnold Schwarzenegger's Atlas pose which is based off the greek statue. A classic powerful pose. FM is a master of the silhouette.

John Byrne inspired Carrie Kelly - very deep!

20:09 Great response ngl

Wow, Frank Miller sounds nothing like I expected.

Didn't know Bill Goldberg was into comics

Hell yes

There are no geniuses writing comics, but if there are, Frank Miller is one.

Interviews like this are so BORING oh look ANOTHER interview where they ask him the same questions about DKR and he gives the same answers hes been giving for decades. Why does no one ever ask him these in depth questions about his intent and purpose with his more controversial works like DKSA and ASBAR? We already know all his thoughts abt DKR. Time to move on

All star batman and ROBIN the boy wonder, my #2 favorite depiction of such a troubled and violent character, who should have been a VILLIAN!

24:35 Did the guy teach his kid to read with The Dark Knight Returns. I'm gonna show my future kid Se7en as their first movie.

I never understood what happened with frank millers health. Cancer? Alcoholism?

Good job not showing the cover you questioned him about.

A great writer/artist-shame about the all-star batman & robin series, as it wasn't finished.

Is he okay you guys writing makes it sound like something has happened 🤔

Todd M and miller greatest ever
