AT THE SHOW: CBLDF Presents: Speaking Freely with Frank Miller

1:00 PM At NYCC!

For nearly three decades, Frank Miller has been redefining comics,
media, and the place each enjoys in the wider cultural conversation.
From the reinvigoration of Batman and Daredevil to the whole cloth
creation of Sin City as a 21st Century blockbuster franchise, Miller
always makes a mark on the media he touches. Join him as he is
interviewed by CBLDF Executive Director Charles Brownstein for a
free-wheeling discussion of his creative life as one of the strongest
voices in popular culture. This interview will be followed by a
special auction of Frank Miller rarities from the CBLDF Auction
Archive. A must see for every Miller fan!
