''300'' is a historically inspired 1998 comic book limited series written and illustrated by Frank Miller with painted colors by Lynn Varley. The comic is a fictional retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae and the events leading up to it from the perspective of Leonidas of Sparta. ''300'' was particularly inspired by the 1962 film ''The 300 Spartans'', a movie that Miller watched as a young boy.〔Frank Miller, ''300'' #3 (July 1998),"slings & arrows" letters page, Dark Horse Comics〕 The work was adapted in 2006 to a film of the same name. ==Publication and awards== Every page of the comic was illustrated as a double-page spread. When the series was gathered into hardcover form, the individual pages were twice as wide as a normal comic. Miller's art style for this project was similar to his ''Sin City'' work, although the addition of consistent color is an obvious difference. ''300'' was initially published as a monthly five-issue comic book limited series by Dark Horse Comics, the first issue published in May 1998. The issues were titled ''Honor'', ''Duty'', ''Glory'', ''Combat'' and ''Victory''. The series won three Eisner Awards in 1999: "Best Limited Series", "Best Writer/Artist" for Frank Miller and "Best Colorist" for Lynn Varley. The work was collected as a hardcover volume in 1999. The popularity of the film has boosted sales of the trade paperback edition. The 10th printing had an announced print run of 40,000 copies, with an 11th printing to follow. This is in addition to the 88,000 copies already sold since the initial volume was released in 1999.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 title=Sales skyrocket for Miller’s 300 graphic novel ) 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「300 (comics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
