What an overrated piece of garbage. Frank Miller has really ugly art and the writing is no different than what an emo teenager would produce while he sits on the toilet trying to be edgy.

Did you pay attention to the composition of the panels and how he directs a page? If not, you're not ready to properly digest it(or any comics on a more mature basis, for that matter.)

Look buddy, you can't just call it garbage because you hang out with teens who spend their free time musing about lions in winter and dystopian futures. My niece keeps going on about a McMillan-style couple solving crimes in the last days of Prohibition, but you don't see me calling The Thin Man shit.

This is what I mean by overrated. You act as if no other artists know how to create interesting compositions and direct a page. Most comics with good artists working on them have stuff like that.

C'mon now, you probably even notice his ugly art. Batman and Superman look like two stupid gorillas the whole time. It's just ugly.

I think everyone just hyped up Miller so much that no one has the courage to admit how shit it is anymore.

>Ugly Art
What's ugly about it? It's different, sure, and certainly has it's own style to it, but nothing is inherently wrong with it. It certainly doesn't break any more rules of anatomy/reality than any other comic does, and it's without a doubt one of the cleanest works Miller ever put out

Second, pic related

Third, why buy the Deluxe Edition for a book you've never read?

Depends what you mean by " good artist" plenty of famous artists are shit storytellers, but the have excellent technical skills and get praised for their big splash pages full of people punching each other. They're great illustrators, but awful comic artists

Miller did it first. All the angst, and darkness and pathos...he pioneered modern comics. So shut the fuck up and read a book about how comics came to be.
>>
>>77356294
>accurately drawn
Yeah, no. I actually get a lot of enjoyment from Miller's art and TDKR is one of my favourite graphic novels of all time but let's not pretend that Frank likes his proportions accurate. Hands and feet swell, heads become boxs and chests look like barrels or walls.

Not that this is bad, it's just not supposed to look like real people.
>>
>>77361087
>he pioneered modern comics
At least, he and Moore kick started the dark age of comics, the edgy 90s.

This was a thread about Frank Miller, I thought, not Dennis O'Neil.

I assume it was just mocking the majority of TDKR defense posts.
