Books with author Frances A Miller

This gritty and gripping collection of urban pulp fiction from writer/artist Frank Miller's multi-award-winning "Sin City" saga introduces an all-new cast, while skilfully interweaving the action with glimpses of other stories set in the seedy metropolis. Meet Lieutenant John Hartigan, one hour left on the force and one case left to close...'Junior', a sick, spoilt brat with a powerful senator for a father, a kidnapped eleven year-old girl in his grasp, and a taste for rape and murder. Hartigan's last day on the force, his last case. He's going out with bang! This 'mature readers' collection features extreme violence, nudity, and swearing.

Watch Out, World! is a novel for 9-11 year olds with an unusual format. Told by two very real twelve-year-old boys, DeVon Williams and Victor Hansen, their shared adventure is captured in separate, back-to-back narratives so that readers experience and understand events from each boy's point of view. Their adventures differ enough so that, except at the beginning, their stories are not identical. The boys meet at a summer camp as co-counselors in charge of a class of third graders. Enemies at first, when they are hurled into the future with one of their eight-year-old charges, the irrepressible Cassie O'Connor, they gradually come to recognize and rely on each other's strengths. As they try to understand where they are and why, they find it's a future they want no part of. But can they figure out a way to get back so they can do something to make the future "come out better?" No matter which boy's story readers choose to read first, they will not have the answer to that question until they read the other.

Frank Miller changes the game in the fourth volume of his signature crime series, introducing the only truly heroic figure in Sin City's world of vice, Detective Hartigan. A highlight of the series, and the inspiration for one of the segments of the blockbuster Sin City film, That Yellow Bastard returns in a newly redesigned edition, with a brand-new cover by Miller - some of his first comics art in years! The worst thing to be in Basin City is an honest cop, but it's Hartigan's last day on the job, and he plans to go out with a bang. Little Nancy Callahan, age eleven, has been kidnapped by a psycho who likes to hear children scream, and Hartigan's going to find her no matter what it takes. Hell of a way to start retirement . . . With a new look generating more excitement than ever before, this third edition is the perfect way to attract a whole new generation of readers to Frank Miller's masterpiece!
