300

No graphic novel writer and artist is more suited for the task of re-creating ancient warfare than Frank Miller, creator of the gritty comic series and film Sin City.

In 300, Miller re-creates one of history’s most crucial engagements—the Battle of Thermopylae, where the Spartans and Persians clashed in ultimate battle. Spartan King Leonidas led a force of only 300 men against the massive army from the East. The Spartans were destroyed after a valiant stand, but they bought just enough time for the Greeks to unite and eventually crush the Persians.

With amazing color artwork bleeding off every oversized page, 300 immerses you in the raw experience of ancient combat. (13” x 10”) Illustrated throughout. Explicit content.

300 - History in a Nutshell
July 10, 2010

Basically, either you "get" Frank Miller, or you don't..that applies to "Sin City" AND "300". That being said, I passed on this book for $30.00 at Barnes & Noble, but the bookclub price of slightly over $10.00 makes this a worthwhile purchae(as with many other bookclub releases) Also, I LOVE BOOKS; period. Although I started working with computers at Carnegie-Mellon in 1968, I wouldn't TOUCH a Kindle electronic reader! Books like this exemplify just one of the reasons why!

Wow. Kind of a short read (even for a graphic novel). But well worth it. Miller does it once again with both his words and pictures. And from what little I know of the real story this is as close as it gets to an actual history lesson with just a few differences of course added for dramatic effect. Oh, yeah. Go see the movie too.

Awestruck!!

I absolutely loved this book. You don't expect much in the way of character development from a comic (or in this case "graphic novel") but Frank Miller proves that wrong by providing the reader an in depth look at Leonides. While based on an actual historical event, those of you who think that if falls short due to it's historical inaccuracies don't "get" the book. It is meant to stir the feelings of one's soul, to give the reader a glimpse of what these warriors, and more importantly their king, were feeling. Reccomended reading before seeing the movie.
