![]() ![]() ![]() Miller played with extreme contrasts and vivid textures in a way that had rarely been attempted in the medium (though he owed a heavy debt to the pioneering quasi-noir of Will Eisner’s The Spirit comics of the 1940s), creating visuals as experimental as they were unforgettable. But one thing was inarguable: The artwork was beautiful. The plots weren’t groundbreaking - they all centered around tough guys and slinky dames getting caught up in deadly schemes and brutal fisticuffs. Between 19, legendary (and endlessly controversial) writer and artist Frank Miller cranked out more than 1,000 pages of hard-boiled neo-noir under the Sin City banner. The Sin City movies deserve praise for their daring visuals, but they’ve got nothing on the original comics. ![]()

So when Sarrantonio’s letter arrived, it seemed happily providential. Q: How did you become involved with the 999 anthology?Ī: My best recollection is that I received a letter from Al Sarrantonio, the editor who was putting the book together, asking whether I had anything in my “trunk.” I had recently completed Elsewhere, which I had begun with the intention it be a full-blown novel, but, as these things so often happen, the story had a mind of its own and it came out to just 100 pages, too short for publication on its own, but I felt that expanding it would simply destroy the pace and eventual impact of the ending. I conducted this interview with him when his short novel, Elsewhere, appeared in the 999 anthology. He also directed the film versions of Legion (aka “Exorcist III”) and The Ninth Configuration.
