Explained simply
Frank Miller is an American comic-book writer and artist known for stories such as Sin City, a crime series set in the fictional Basin City. The series uses stark black-and-white artwork and follows people whose lives cross amid the city’s violence and corruption.
Miller has also worked on well-known superhero comics, including Batman and Daredevil. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are four fictional, crime-fighting turtles who became popular through comics, television and films; Miller has said drawing them was a long-held ambition.
Comics are often made by a writer and artist working together, though one person can do both jobs. Miller’s other project, Invasive Species, is a science-fiction comic created with artist Ryan Benjamin and colourist Alex Sinclair, whose work adds colour to the images.
