    Short summary describing this issue.

    300 last edited by ScottyHawkeye on 11/03/21 11:14AM View full history

    The armies of Persia--a vast horde greater than any the world has ever known--are poised to crush Greece, an island of reason and freedom in a sea of madness and tyranny. Standing between Greece and this tidal wave of destruction are a tiny detachment of but three hundred warriors. Frank Miller's epic retelling of history's supreme moment of battlefield valor is finally collected in a glorious hardcover volume in its intended format-- each two-page spread from the original comics is presented as a single undivided page.

    A huge epic 0

    300 #1 - 300 by silkcuts on June 07, 2010

    300 Spartans... a story we all know.  Frank Miller happened to write his version of this classic tale.  It is a story of stories, a huge epic.  A king takes only 300 men and hold off the world.  It is a great story of human determination and pride to protect ones homeland. There really is not much more then the historical retelling and a cool deformed spartan.  It does have its moments, such as Leonidas eating an apple while standing on a pile of fallen foes.  That makes this book a minimum of 3...

    Graphic Novel vs Movie 0

    300 #1 - 300 by matthuliz on March 30, 2011

    I am one of the curious fans who wanted to know how faithful the magnificent movie is to the original source, Frank Miller’s graphic novel.

    I had the feeling this was going to be a lot more graphic and grotesque than it turned out to be, which was a pleasant sort of surprise (though the casual nakededity was surprising and not my favorite part of the series). Miller does a good job capturing the potential mind of Leonidas - who knows what Leonidas was really like. As a Spartan king who managed to live so long, it's credible he was both toughened by his years of Spartan life and weary of such a lifestyle. The criticisms of some of it...
