    • Synopsis

    300 is the collected comic series based on the Battle of Thermopylae written and drawn by Frank Miller with colors by Lynn Varley. The book is 88 pages and about 10 x 13 inches in size, sold in a hardcover format. It gathers the five original comic issues of the 300 series.

    The 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 are a tiny detachment of but three hundred warriors. Frank Miller's epic retelling of history's supreme moment of battlefield valor is finally collected in its intended format—each two-page spread from the original comics is presented as a single undivided page.
