| | | 300 is a story of war and defiance as only Frank Miller can tell. Featuring the watercolor talents of painter Lynn Varley, 300 marks the first collaboration for these two creators since 1990's Elektra Lives Again. The five-part series is collected into a beautiful, 88-page hardcover volume, with each two-page spread from the comic presented as it was originally intended - as a single undivided page, greatly enhancing the graphic and narrative power of this immortal tale of heroic sacrifice. Make sure to check out the online preview of 300 here. And watch for news of this soon to be made major motion picture.
Annotation:
This graphic novel chronicles the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 A.D., in which a tiny and outmatched army (300 men) of Greek Spartans was vanquished by the Persians, led by Xerxes. The battle was important because, by distracting the mighty Persians in this inconsequential battle, the Greeks were able to recoup and win the larger one, which was for Greece itself.
