He created the comic book character Elektra for Marvel Comics' ''Daredevil'' series.

Miller is noted for combining film noir and manga influences in his comic art creations. "I realized when I started ''Sin City'' that I found American and English comics be too wordy, too constipated, and Japanese comics to be too empty. So I was attempting to do a hybrid". Provided by Wikipedia
