"favorite comics series of the year" by The Washington Times
.
A story of defiance against
tyranny and valor against impossible odds--Frank Miller's 300 The armies
of Persia--a vast horde greater than any the world has ever known--are
poised to crush Greece, an island of reason and freedom in a sea of madness
and tyranny. Standing between Greece and this tidal wave of destruction
is a tiny detachment of but three hundred warriors. But these warriors
are more than men--they are Spartans!
Frank Miller's epic retelling
of history's supreme moment of battlefield valor is a glorious hardcover
volume--each oversize page encompasses what was originally a double-page
spread, greatly enhancing the graphic and narrative power of this immortal
tale of heroic sacrifice. Story and art by living comics legend Frank Miller,
painted by Lynn Varley. |

RED
TIDE |

After emerging
as Marvel Comics' most controversial superstar, Jim Steranko tackled his
greatest artistic challenge: creating an entirely new medium, the visual
novel--not an illustrated novel or novel-length comic book, but a seamless
fusion of interdependent graphic and prose narratives forming a powerful
and original new method of telling stories. An artistic tour-de-force,
Red Tide is hard-boiled detective fiction in the bare-knuckle tradition
of Hammett, Cain, and Chandler, as well as the dark, atmospheric milieu
of film noir. Dark Horse is proud to reintroduce this landmark work, remastered
with state-of-the-art digital colors and incorporating new illustrations
and text especially created by Steranko for this edition. |
Dark Horse proudly
heralds the return of living-legend Jim Steranko to the world of graphic
storytelling.
"I've got seventy-two hours
to live, Chandler. I want you to find my murderer!"
In the mid-1970s, legendary
Marvel Comics innovator Jim Steranko tackled the most demanding challenge
of his career: creating an entirely new medium--the visual novel. Unlike
everything that came before it, the result seamlessly unified the literary
and artistic forms into an original and powerful narrative approach to
storytelling that was decades ahead of its time. Not simply an homage to
Hammett, Cain, and Chandler, Red Tide is a noir masterpiece riddled with
dark passions, double crosses, and deadly violence in the hard-boiled cinematic
tradition of The Maltese Falcon, Chinatown, and Pulp Fiction.
Not coincidentally, such
filmmakers as Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Francis Ford Coppola
chose Steranko as a collaborator on several of their most popular films.
Acclaimed internationally, Steranko's admirers have included Federico Fellini,
Alain Resnais, and Orson Welles. Dark Horse is proud to present his landmark
work, remastered with state-of-the-art color and incorporating new text
and imagery created especially for this edition.
Steranko is an international
award-winning artist, author, designer, and publisher who has influenced
generations of creative followers and helped shape the identity of American
popular culture. |
