Push the Wall by Frank Miller out next year

Canongate Books will publish Push the Wall by comic creator Frank Miller next July.

As James Bacon previously reported, alongside film director and producer Silenn Thomas, who directed the recently-released documentary, Frank Miller: American Genius, Frank was a recent guest of Dublin Comic Con and the Tallaght Academy of Sequential Art, where alongside he talked frankly about his life, and candidly about his work – some of it controversial.

 In Push the Wall, he chronicles the creation of his most iconic works such as Sin City300RoninDaredevilWolverine and notably, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, which, alongside Batman: Year One served as the foundation for all Batman film and animated adaptations for the past forty years.

Miller reveals how he got his first breaks, how he poured his own life into his darkly realistic characters, how he fought against comic book censorship of the early 1980s, and how he introduced manga-style storytelling to US readers decade before popular anime and manga began tiptoeing into pop culture. Miller transformed the way comics are told and this is how he did it.

Push the Wall is a masterclass in the art of storytelling and an intimate look inside the mind and life of a creative genius. With over a dozen illustrations, chosen from seminal moments from Miller’s art, and organised by the sixteen lessons that meant most to Miller, this reveals the man behind some of the most exciting stories of our age.
