Frank Miller and former DC director Dan DiDio teamed up to launch a new company called Frank Miller Presents (FMP), with Dan DiDio as publisher and Frank Miller as creator and talent scout, so to speak. In a statement, Frank Miller said that this new company, which he has been building for several months now, will be “fertile ground for writers and new creations… Investing in artists and in the future of comics has always been one of my true passions and creative aspirations.”Two to four titles are expected to be released each year, both featuring Frank Miller classics and brand new content from other creators, whether newcomers to the comics world or veterans.

Frank Miller Presents will feature works by Frank Miller as well as other authors.
Speaking of this classic, FMP’s first two installments are to be enjoyed: a return to Sin City, which he created in 1991 and which was adapted into two films with Robert Rodriguez. This new comic is called “Sin City 1858”. The second comic is another sequel: Ronin Book Two, a direct sequel to the 1983 science fiction samurai miniseries created with Lynn Varley and John Costanza.
Two brand new titles are called Pandora and Ancient Enemies. At the time of this writing, no one knows how deeply Frank Miller is involved in each of these works, and creative teams have not yet been revealed either. These books will in any case be available before the end of the year in physical and digital form.
