The Telegraph talks to Frank Miller about 300 and his comic work, and gets some great quotes, like this one:

When Frank Miller was six, he went into his mother’s kitchen and handed her a bundle of typing paper. “The paper was all folded over and I’d drawn all over it. That was my first handmade comic. I held it up and told her that this was what I was going to be doing for the rest of my life. I really was dedicated to creating comics from that age.”

and this one:

“Make no mistake - my stories as a teenager were awful, like a child attempting to do Sin City,” he says. “But what was important for me was that the art and the words were all one. I’ve done my best to keep it that way, because I believe that drawing and writing have been unnaturally separated.

“If you go back to the earliest forms of written language, they all begin as pictographs. There was a separation that occurred organically, so that over time writing became the field that we hoped would be universal. But I think of writing and drawing as very much the same thing.”
