The graphic novel was written by Frank Miller, who watched the 1962 movie as a child and felt compelled to make his own art based on it.“  I will have to check out a few of these movies:  https://greekreporter.com/2021/07/14/movies-based-on-greek-mythology/ Edited August 21, 2021 by guy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
