Holy Terror

Frank Miller's controversial and long-gestating Holy Terror (2011) landed as a single, oversized graphic novel from Legendary Comics, reworked from its original post-9/11 concept into a Batman-free vigilante story. Written and drawn entirely by Miller, the book follows a masked hero called The Fixer as he wages a brutal, unapologetic one-man war against a terrorist cell in Empire City. It stands as a stark, unflinching artifact of its creator's rawest impulses and a lightning-rod for debates about comics' political voice.
