Frank Miller

[Sparvid]

Seeing how Miller was a big influence on Eastman & Laird, has he ever drawn TMNT in any way?

[SavantiRomero]

My intial response, is yes.

I can't remember what, but I think it was just one or 2 poster type drawings that were included in teh volume 1 mirage run as pin up art.

[Karpo_007]

I don't remember those... In wich issues could they be ?

[SavantiRomero]

I honestly can't tell you at the moment, I'd have to be back home and have access to my collection.

I'm sure there was. Frank was aware of the TMNT and how they started. He's done an interview or two as well.

Truthfully I was hoping that someone else who had an extensive collection, like mine, could sift through a few issues. I KNOW there was something printed in black and white by Frank. It could have just been a letter. But I'm almost posative he did some pin up work that was contained in an issue. It would have most definetly been before Issue 50.

It might even have been one of the specials, like Turtle Soup or Gobbledegook. Might even have been contained in the Tales of the TMNT.

I'm sure there was. Frank was aware of the TMNT and how they started. He's done an interview or two as well.That was what I was thinking about. From what I've heard, he is the kind of guy who would be aware of these things. And he has also done various pinups and guest covers from time to time, so it is likely to exist some Miller TMNT artwork somewhere... (But I haven't seen it yet! :cry: :P)

*I* Can't believe you brought that up... Im willing to forgive... I can just forget

[Leo656]

I don't think Jesus himself is Christian enough to forgive THAT mess.

I don't think Jesus himself is Christian enough to forgive THAT mess.

Well I can only forgive it, because I act like it never happened... it's really easy to do actually

[Leo656]

Not for me, since I'm stuck with all 3 issues in my Batman box.

I paid money for them, thinking all the while "maybe THIS issue will be good... maybe THIS issue will be good..."

None of them were good.

F***ing hack. :evil:

[GK Punk]

He maybe a hack, but he is a RICH hack... and that's more than I can say for me. (Im just a hack)

[Leo656]

THAT is what bothers me the most, the fact that DC paid him ONE MILLION DOLLARS to do that piece of garbage.

It reminds me of that Simpsons episode with this classic exchange between The Critic and Ranier "McBane" Wolfcastle:

Critic: "How do you even sleep at night?"
McBane: "On top of a pile of money, with many beautiful ladies."
Critic: "Just asking!"

[GK Punk]

Critic: "How do you even sleep at night?"
McBane: "On top of a pile of money, with many beautiful ladies."
Critic: "Just asking!"

:lol:
I can't imagine Frank Miller doing that though... then again... he is rich... damn rich people...

Ha. When I read the first issue I remember thinking: "Wow, this is different but it could be cool." Then when I read the second issue I thought: "Is he out of his mind? This makes no sense?" Then when I read the third issue I realized that Frank Miller has completely lost whatever talent he once had. What a classic example of an artist trying to be "super artistic" to the point of nonsense (think Radiohead's "Kid A" or "Amnesiac"). Yuck, just absolute utter garbage. DC should sue him to get their money back.

I don't remember anything like that but I know that Jack Kirby and Todd McFarlane both did pin-ups for the TMNT (Kirby's is available only at Peter Laird's "Blast from the Past" http://www.planetracers.com/blast/blast50.html

Peter Kirby also did a pretty cool drawing of Michelangelo in one of the Turtle Soup issues.
