In Shops 9/28/2011: Frank Miller's Holy Terror

There's a deadly menace somewhere in Empire City and The Fixer only has until dawn to save his town — and civilization as we know it — in Holy Terror, a new Legendary Comics hardcover written and illustrated by Frank Miller!

Miller's name has become synonymous with relentless action, deft characterization, and gripping storytelling, as evidenced by the acclaim he's received for such bestsellers as Sin City, 300, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. His many followers should expect the same high quality from Holy Terror, described by Legendary Comics Editor-in-Chief Bob Schreck as "…Frank at the top of his game! A fast paced, biting commentary on our uncertain and volatile times, told with some of the most gut-wrenching, iconic images he's ever produced."

Years in the making, this all-out, head-busting, bone-breaking, neck-snapping follows the desperate and brutal quest of a hero as he is forced to run down an army of murderous zealots in order to stop a crime against humanity. What unfolds is a dark, uncompromising superhero tale for the modern era, told in Miller's trademark high-contrast, black-and-white visual style, which seizes the political zeitgeist by the throat and doesn't let go until the last page.
