Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
Frank Miller is an institution, not just to the world of graphic art and comic books but to film also and no matter that he has worked for the big two when it comes to artwork and writing, on titles such as Batman/ The Dark Knight, Superman (D.C. Comics) and Spider-Man, Daredevil and Elecktra (Marvel), it is perhaps the works that were turned into highly successful and critically acclaimed films, namely 300 and Sin City.
If anyone thought that Progressive Rock was dead in the water as the 1980s began, then certainly the cowbell that had once proudly rang out was joining the fat lady in beginning to sound decidedly croaky and worn out.
By early 1983 Genesis had moved so far from the Progressive line that they were considered cool in circles they couldn’t have envisioned 10 years earlier when they bought out the pastoral sound of Selling England By the Pound. Yes were going mainstream, Supertramp were going their separate ways, Queen had long since abandoned the genre, Pink Floyd, the standard bearers of the music from 1973 onwards were about to self-destruct with what seemed one final hurrah in the opinion dividing The Final Cut and countless others such as Caravan and Camel were running out of steam.
