I was watching a program concerning comics some time back - a couple years ago - and one of the giants of the industry - John Buscema I believe it was but I could be wrong - stated that Frank Miller would be great except for the fact he hates comics. He did not elaborate but it was an interesting comment. I loved Miller's take on the Batman when he did The Dark Knight Returns. His latest, Batman comes back again after a five year absence, is too political and anti-conservative.

Those original Batman by Miller were something special. My son has flinched my collectors copy but I don't care (stuff it - yes I do I'm goin' to go into his room and demand it back tonight) Opps I digress.... But I remember thinking at the time that this was cinema in comic form - not that I minded. Almost like a storyboard more than a comic. Perhaps that was what Buscema, no slouch himself, had in mind?
