300 is a graphic novel, written and illustrated by Frank Miller with painted colors by Lynn Varley. It depicts the Battle of Thermopylae and the events leading up to it from the perspective of Leonidas, king of Sparta. The comic was particularly inspired by the 1962 film The 300 Spartans, a movie that Miller watched as a young boy.Every page of the comic was illustrated as a double-page spread. When the series was collected into hardcover form, the individual pages were twice as wide as a normal comic. Miller’s art style for this project was similar to his Sin City work, although the addition of color is an obvious difference.

Ok, and now, they are making a movie based on the graphic novel. I don’t know what to say, it kinda looks cool, but we’ll see. It seems it has a similar style to Sin City, which was pretty good, so this movie will probably be good, too. Here’s the trailer for 300
