So for Miller’s return to Hollywood, he’s adapting material that isn’t his own, choosing to turn Hugo Pratt’s Corto Maltese stories into a miniseries.ĭeadline reports that Miller will write and produce for Studiocanal a six-episode series based on the adventuring sea captain, Corto Maltese. While the first Sin City movie, which he wrote and co-directed with Robert Rodriguez, turned out pretty good, the sequel A Dame to Kill For was pretty lousy, and don’t even get me started on The Spirit. Liebowitz is on the foundation board with family members Kendra and Sharon Liebowitz, who collectively run the Golden Apple shop, along with filmmaker and comic art form enthusiast Kevin Smith, writer Marc Andreyko, journalist Heidi MacDonald, Atomic Comics owner Mike Malve, and producer Gary Prebula.It’s been a mixed bag whenever comic book legend Frank Miller adapts his own work. Atomic is having a Miller autograph signing on March 26.
The event is notable as it is the first time Miller is making any sort of professional appearance in Arizona and for its tie-in to the grand reopening and return of Atomic Comics, a popular shop (it was featured in the 2010 movie Kick-Ass) that folded 10 years ago. It will have a themed menu based on Miller’s comics and films. The event will take place March 25 in Arizona and feature a Q&A with Miller and the film’s director, Silenn Thomas.
The foundation’s first fundraising event is a charity screening (and the North American premiere) of Frank Miller: American Genius, a documentary centered on the author and artist whose seminal works include The Dark Knight Returns, Daredevil: Born Again and Sin City. It will also work to create scholarships and convention programming while promoting the restoration and preservation of comic art. The plan is to continue such work and expand the scope by collaborating with special collection departments at universities to establish exhibits and mobile museums. “It’s very popular for people to donate to universities, but the problem is that the people at universities don’t specialize in comics,” Liebowitz says. The newly created foundation will now catalog and archived the collection and ensure its safe transportation. The impetus for the foundation was a longtime customer seeking to donate his extensive collection to his alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania.
