‘Sin City’ creator Frank Miller wants to write ‘Captain America’
Frank Miller is still one of the most important comic book writers of his generation. He created some of the most recognisable and significant comics, and his takes on Daredevil and Batman remain influential to this day.
His iconic story The Dark Knight Returns, for example, is even being used as a heavy influence on the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. In recent years, Miller has been adapting some of his comics, most notably Sin City and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, to the big screen. But in a new Reddit AMA, he expressed an interest in writing new Captain America comic book stories for Marvel.
Frank Miller did a Reddit AMA and was asked which superhero he’d like to write. Here’s his response: "Again, I get back to Captain America, because I find him such a wonderful anachronism. And also, I feel that he features virtues that my country has either lost or misplaced for a very long time. Especially at a time when the country is so clearly threatened, a hero like that is outstanding. I remember telling people at Marvel, just a few days after 9/11, that I hoped they realised what they had there, because Captain America’s reaction to 9/11 would have been pretty direct."
