Frank Miller may not be a “historian” in the strictest sense of the word, but who needs to be hung up on what really happened when you can read tales of days past with lots of butt-kicking mixed in to spice things up? Let’s face it, The Cuban Missile Crisis would have been a hundred times more exciting in Miller’s universe – where a 'roided out JFK would have gone mano-y-mano with a bug-eyed Khrushchev while nuclear warheads flew in the background. Just look at ‘300.’](300 (2007) - Movie | Moviefone) Is it historically accurate? Not exactly. Spartans and Persians did square off, but Miller definitely made it far more exciting than any history book thanks to his “factual liberties.”
