I sat down in person with the legendary creator of The Dark Knight Returns, Sin City, 300, and the definitive Daredevil run to talk about his new book, Push the Wall — a guide to the creative philosophy behind a 40-year career.
Frank shares why he made Batman old and "possessed, not obsessed," how samurai films and crime noir collided to create his Daredevil and Ronin, why he never had a Plan B, and the difference between egoism and egotism that kept him going through years of rejection.
