Book is warped and does not lay down flat
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
The reason it did not have many pictures was because the corners and edges were very beat up. I purchased to read it and enjoy it so not that big of a deal to me but saying it's new or even like new is simply not accurate. Ask for pictures and be warned of hidden damage I guess.

OK, I'm not up on my 'ages'--but chances are this was the bronze age (not the 1970s of comic books),hence 'it bronzes!' This was a delightful turn of theme for Frank Miller who hit the ground hard and fast with his early Daredevil comics, followed up rapidly by his outstanding work on Batman The Dark Knight Returns and his Ronin series. All great stuff! After those high points, what could the young turk follow it up with? We got Sin City, his crime noir dramas in the pages of Dark Horse comics. Now, Miller's work on the crime books of Sin City are fun...delightful to look at, but frankly, every one basically seems to be a rehash of the same story of tough guys, tough babes, and...I was asleep already by the third outing. But here--!! with 300! Not only did he break some ground in genre (for this sort of material hasn't been covered except for the wonderful work in the indy title AGE OF BRONZE, an ongoing series elsewhere to be noted), but the visuals in 300 are stunning, and the joy of this book is that as you open this book up and lay it flat out, every opened page laid flat is a complete page to look at. Not something that you look at one page and then scan up to the second page, but every page turned is a new centerspread! Unique in graphic storytelling!! Great stuff here-- worth the read, worth owning!!Read full review
Just yesterday (3-27-07) I saw the film that comic book fanatics have been talking about, it also raised 77.5 Million dollars on it's opening weekend, 300. Don't get me wrong the special effects were amazing, but otherwise I didn't like the movie that much, the 5-comic series by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley was amazing and mind-blowing. Why is this? The only thing I do know is that I love the comic book series, the movie -pause- not so much. Still people reading this review, buy this graphic novel, it's amazing! So long, CapAmerica81
300, we all know the story about a few who stood against many... Probably many of you heve seen the movie, the elder ones maybe remember another 300 movie (from 70's I think). Well if you look back on the movie- have it seemed lika a comics to you? Well that's because it has a comic pattern - this comic book. In first time, it was 5 comic books, that are now joined into one. So you can enjoy all the movie in one book :-D You will see many familiar scenes and you'll be able to enjoy the whole movie once more! Great opportunity for everyone to enjoy the story of 300, who now lie at Thermopylae, obedient to their laws.
