The Hard Goodbye (Sin City, Book 1) [图书] 豆瓣 Goodreads
作者: Frank Miller 出版社: Dark Horse 2005 - 2 其它标题: Sin City Volume 1: The Hard Goodbye
Legendary artist Frank Miller opened a noir opus in Sin City. This critically-acclaimed triumph-honored by both an Eisner Award and the prestigious National Cartoonists' Award-combines the pulp intensity of writers like Spillane and Cain with the gritty graphic storytelling that only Miller can deliver. Sin City is the place-tough as leather and dry as tinder. Love is the fuel, and the now-infamous character Marv has the match ... not to mention a "condition." He's gunning after Goldie's killer, so it's time to watch this town burn! Frank Miller is one of modern comic's first talents to publish a comic book that he created, crafted, and owned. That book is Sin City, which grew from the wellspring of Miller's passionate desire to create a comic book with two distinct qualities - it wouldn't be a superhero comic, and it had to be a crime comic. Enter Marv and Goldie. And a psychotic killer. And a crime-drenched town. And a corrupted diocese. Sin City is a town like no other, but most places resemble it in one way or another. In real life, thugs live everywhere and women sell their bodies all the time, but if everyday life is a storm, Sin City exists in the eye of a hurricane.

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns
作者: Frank Miller 出版社: DC Comics 2002 - 11
This masterpiece of modern comics storytelling brings to vivid life a dark world and an even darker man. Together with inker Klaus Janson and colorist Lynn Varley, writer/artist Frank Miller completely reinvents the legend of Batman in his saga of a near-future Gotham City gone to rot, ten years after the Dark Knight's retirement.
Crime runs rampant in the streets, and the man who was Batman is still tortured by the memories of his parents' murders. As civil society crumbles around him, Bruce Wayne's long-suppressed vigilante side finally breaks free of its self-imposed shackles.
The Dark Knight returns in a blaze of fury, taking on a whole new generation of criminals and matching their level of violence. He is soon joined by this generation's Robin—a girl named Carrie Kelley, who proves to be just as invaluable as her predecessors.
But can Batman and Robin deal with the threat posed by their deadliest enemies, after years of incarceration have made them into perfect psychopaths? And more important, can anyone survive the coming fallout of an undeclared war between the superpowers—or a clash of what were once the world's greatest superheroes?
Over fifteen years after its debut,
remains an undisputed classic and one of the most influential stories ever told in the comics medium.

Batman [图书] 豆瓣
作者: Frank Miller 出版社: DC Comics 1997 - 5
“这是一个虚构的故事。故事里的事可能发生也可能不发生……”
曾几何时,这句话在美国漫画里时常出现,基本都是作者YY未来故事,内容无非布鲁斯年老退居二线,罗宾或者他儿子继承衣钵,将蝙蝠派发扬光大……好吧,这不是武侠。就算有悲剧结局的,也是英勇献身这一类的伟大主题。米勒版的不一样。罗宾已死。50岁的蝙蝠侠已经于十年前挂袍。警察局长戈登即将被迫退休。罪恶之城——我是说高登市,街头的暴力犯罪变本加厉。
换言之,蝙蝠侠从前的一切努力,都是白费。他重出江湖。而他也唤醒了昔日的敌人,并被新任局长视为法外凶徒。究竟是罪犯的存在造就了蝙蝠侠,还是蝙蝠侠的存在带动了犯罪?
米勒违背了之前所有漫画中的教条。没有阴谋诡计,没有衣着鲜亮的坏蛋,也没有华而不实的“死亡陷阱”和小道具。犯罪的理由很简单:金钱、权力、或是单纯的变态。这里没有帅哥美女,没有正义英雄,没有华丽的战斗,只有一个无情的现实世界,和一个试图挑战体制的人。
这部作品里的蝙蝠侠不是英雄,而是一个反英雄。但他的行为——特别是他早已不复当年的巅峰状态,就连强壮的心脏也无法承受接连不断的战斗,却依然毫无惧色的面对各种追兵——却无法不带有英雄色彩。他拒绝接受“老兵不死,只是凋谢”的结果。
蝙蝠侠收服街头的小混混,形成一支新的帮派——很难说他们究竟是罪犯还是受害者。他同绿箭(之前在漫画中就一贯是左派立场)的合作,则更具政治色彩:忠实听命于总统,以求换得超人类的生存空间的超人,沦为了当局的忠犬;反倒是身为凡人的他们,打出了决不妥协的信号。即使代价是死亡。
书中不可避免的带着冷战的烙印。一触即发的紧张感弥漫在全书中。显然,当时米勒已经在反省大众媒体的影响,广泛采用“电视播报”这一形式,不仅为主题推波助澜,也传达各方的观感:既不同于“超人归来”的万众欢呼,也不同于X战警们受到的歧视和排挤,一个地下的执法者引来的是怀疑与争议。公众在电视上辩论不休,对他的行为有褒有贬。这种手法后来被许多人模仿。而布鲁斯父母被枪杀时珍珠掉落的那一组慢镜头,也被无数画家一而再、再而三的重复。
本书成为了主流漫画的一座里程碑。它氢弹般的爆炸效应震动了整个产业,由此引起了一连串的连锁反应:蝙蝠女瘫痪,罗宾不久就被杀死;他和超人等其他英雄的关系,从前是好友,而接下来的作者们则遵循了米勒的脚步——他们必有一战。此后二十年的蝙蝠侠漫画,都因此定下了基调——黑暗、冷酷、孤僻、不择手段。
而这正是DKR最大的副作用。很多人对米勒的作品存在着误读,仅仅被他笔下那个黑暗的世界所震撼,却忘了他在黑暗中,同时还埋藏了一丝希望,以及对希望的追求。于是他们开始模仿所谓的“黑暗”路线,却只学得些皮毛。不是要孤僻么?便让人物命犯天煞孤星,众叛亲离;不是要冷酷么?便抹去他所有的人性,让他彻底的“爱无能”;至于黑暗——还没有人能模仿米勒的黑暗,连皮毛也不能。
罪恶都市 [图书] 豆瓣
作者: Frank Miller 出版社: Dark Horse 2006 - 6
这里没有白天,只有倾盆大雨和恐怖的雪。这是一个现代都市,却奉行着丛林的生存准则。假如你是男的,那么如果没有野兽般的眼睛和随时准备杀人的神经,你不会活得太长;假如是女的,情况就更糟。这里没有道德,善良与邪恶不过是随时变化的东西。罪恶之城为黑暗所拥有,被黑暗所统治,因黑暗而存在。
经过了长久的积淀,这才是米勒真正想画的作品。用极端一点的话说,米勒其实只画过一部漫画,就是这部罪恶之城。无论是超胆侠还是蝙蝠侠,不过是罪恶之城的超级英雄版本。
一开始罪恶之城的故事只有13话完,剧情简单得不能再简单:一个典型的硬汉警察马弗跟一个妓女过夜之后,被冤枉杀了那个妓女。这桥段并不新鲜,而马弗的行动更加不算新鲜:找出冤枉自己的那个人。不过这可不是为自己复仇,而是为了那个死去的妓女。马弗是粗人一个,他的调查方式理所当然的只有一种。 一个死翘翘的妓女,值得你为之送命吗?值得去死。值得去杀人。值得下地狱。 拳头、鲜血、女人,刀锋与子弹。什么叫暴力美学,这才是暴力美学。不是在房间里面放鸽子,而是一枪把你丫暴头,然后走了出去,不再回头。
米勒虽然曾经做过电影编剧,但是他因为不满好莱坞对他的《机械战警》剧本的删改,一怒之下声称绝不再和好莱坞合作,所以当初创作《罪恶之城》的时候,故意把它画成一部“反电影”的漫画:《罪恶之城》的线条粗犷刚硬,不拘一格,有时候画格本身就是故事的一部分。黑白分明的画风,高光勾勒出人物的轮廓,留白叙述着千言万语。好像这个世界一点中间色都没有,只有黑和白,罪与罚,杀人或被杀。老米强迫读者的目光集中在他最强的笔触上,在一个充满暴力的黑白世界里追寻他的哲学。
画完这个故事,米勒当然不会善罢甘休,又接着画了好几部续集:
《平安夜》(SILENT NIGHT)还是马弗的故事,讲他寻找一个被绑架的小女孩。这故事不长,二十来页,强的是全篇几乎没有对白——虽然这在漫画界算不上特别希奇,然而这可是老美啊,出了名的喜欢白话的啊,他的漫画中总是充满了独白,人物几乎每分钟都在喃喃自语;这篇漫画对他来说倒是一种新的尝试。
到了《A DAME TO KILL FOR》,影片里有份的Dwight就登场啦,这哥们够衰的,专门吃女人的亏,被前一个女人耍得团团转还挨了枪子儿,不过这人有不死系的小强潜质,居然活下来了。而且不仅活下来,还在前女友Gail和女忍者Miho的帮助下恢复了。然后当然是报仇。不过这不算重要,重要的是出现在这个故事中的Miho。她和Dwight再次出现在接下来的《FAMILY VALUES》中,这次米勒更是尽情的挥洒,通栏白描和那些版画式的画格形成对比,光影对比比平时更加夸张N倍,大片大片的黑白色块,只能用淋漓尽致来形容。
尽管这个系列是黑白漫画,但偶尔也会使用颜色(比如《THAT YELLOW BASTARD》)——相信很多人都记得辛德勒名单里那个红衣小罗莉,一个作用——不过凡事都有例外。《TO HELL AND BACK》里就有这么一段场景:
故事讲的是一个叫Wallace的老兵,为了一个想自杀的女人惹上了N多麻烦(罪恶城市里女人就是不折不扣的祸水呀)。故事本身没啥好说,值得一提的是其中拿整整一话来讲Wallace的幻觉——全彩!因为是药物造成的梦境,所以这一话中的视象一点逻辑没有,从日本武士到蓝博,甚至还有美国队长和神奇女侠……等到一切归于现实,世界又重新变成黑白,又回到了那个封闭的罪恶之城。
暴力、凌虐、绝望、歧视、迫害,在这个封闭的系统之中,一切都是允许的,只有善良除外。这是一个没有希望,没有尊严,也没有信仰的世界,也没有一条路可以逃离。Hartigan为了南茜而自杀,这并不表示南茜就获得了解救,她最后很可能依然逃不脱被强奸、被凌辱的命运;人们无法抗拒,只能保持生存,直到最糟的结局到来。

Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again [图书] 豆瓣 Goodreads
作者: Frank Miller / Lynn Varley 出版社: DC Comics 2004 - 1 其它标题: Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again
It's been three years since the events of The Dark Knight Returns, and everything is just fine. At least on the surface. What the world at large doesn't know is that it's a total sham. A perfectly choreographed, pretty little world where everything that's ugly, or even potentially disturbing, is all nicely wrapped up with neat little ribbons and swept under the carpet. Only he knows better. He's watched it fester to near-breaking point, and it's time for the only free man left who can effect any real change to bring it all down around their ears once and for all.
The Dark Knight returns once again with a vitality unseen since the first years of his war on crime. Together with his army of Bat-soldiers, including Carrie Kelley—formerly Robin, and now the new Catgirl—the Dark Knight wages a new war on a diseased world that's become completely lost.
The Dark Knight Strikes Again features appearances by such DC icons as Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Arrow, Martian Manhunter, the Atom, the Question and more. But are they still the World's Greatest Heroes or part of the conspiracy?
This incredible volume, designed by multiple award-winner Chipp Kidd, features a new introduction by Miller commenting on returning to the world he created fifteen years ago. The book includes the complete 3-part story, plus numerous sketches and other never-before-seen material.
