A story of defiance against tyranny and valor against impossible odds--Frank Miller's 300The armies of Persia--a vast horde greater than any the world has ever known--are poised to crush Greece, an island of reason and freedom in a sea of madness and tyranny. Standing between Greece and this tidal wave of destruction is a tiny detachment of but three hundred warriors. But these warriors are more than men--they are Spartans! Frank Miller's epic retelling of history's supreme moment of battlefield valor is a glorious hardcover volume--each oversize page encompasses what was originally a double-page spread, greatly enhancing the graphic and narrative power of this immortal tale of heroic sacrifice.
