The work was collected as a hardcover volume in 1999. The series won three Eisner Awards in 1999: "Best Limited Series", "Best Writer/Artist" for Frank Miller and "Best Colorist" for Lynn Varley.
The issues were titled Honor, Duty, Glory, Combat and Victory. Miller's art style for this project was similar to his Sin City work, although the addition of consistent color is an obvious difference.ģ00 was initially published as a monthly five-issue comic book limited series by Dark Horse Comics, the first issue published in May 1998. When the series was gathered into hardcover form, the individual pages were twice as wide as a normal comic. In 2018, Dark Horse published Xerxes: The Fall of the House of Darius and the Rise of Alexander, also written and drawn by Miller, acting as a prequel and sequel to the events of 300, depicting Xerxes I's rise to the throne, and the subsequent destruction of the Persian Empire under his descendant Darius III, by Alexander the Great.Įach page of the novel is illustrated as a double-page spread. The work was adapted in 2006 to a film of the same name.
300 was particularly inspired by the 1962 film The 300 Spartans, a film Miller watched as a young boy. The comic is a fictional retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae and the events leading up to it from the perspective of Leonidas of Sparta. 300 is a historically inspired 1998 comic book limited series written and illustrated by Frank Miller with painted colors by Lynn Varley.
