Frank Miller (Comic Book Writer)

 In previous blogs, I have mentioned a few of my influences as a writer and today I thought about writing one about a legendary comic book writer. His name is Frank Miller.

Miller has been in the comic book business since before I was even born. In fact, my parents weren't even married yet when he first started writing comics. The first time that I had ever gotten to see anything of Frank Miller was back in 2005 when a movie based on one of his amazing comics (Sin City) and I become a fan instantly.

Since then I have been researching him more and being a fan of comic books myself, I must say Frank has created some of greatest stories in comic book history in my humble opinion.

Miller is one of the reasons why I enjoy the character Daredevil. As I went back and learned about his time there with the character, he created Elektra and wrote the Daredevil: Born Again story arc which many claim is one of the best stories in the history of the character.

Frank also created the Dark Knight Returns which was a four issue miniseries.

One of the reasons that drew my attention to the works of Miller was his use of the film noir style of writing as well the black and white of his comics like for example Sin City.

His story are also so dark and gritty which has been something that always catches my attention. Also books like Ronin were inspired by Manga and being a fan of anime myself, greatly appreciate the effort he put into the series.

I remember watching a little episode of G4 Icons which talked about him and I must say, I really did enjoy! There was even recently a documentary about Miller called Frank Miller: American Genius which aired back in June of this year. Which I need to go find a way to watch it.

I would really love to be able to go and meet Mr. Miller and thank him for being a huge influence on me and I really hope to be able to tell amazing stories like has. 

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody!🙏🙏🙏

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Image
Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob...

What's going on? Being honest with ourselves!

 I don't like to cause any problems with anybody but there have been a lot of things that I been wanting to get off my chest for a very long time now. And that is in my humble opinion people don't seem to want to be honest about really anything anymore. Now, I could be just a little paranoid, maybe my anxiety is getting the best of me or whatever. But as time has past I have been getting a weird feeling all over me. You see, I just feel as though people no one is really being honest with each other, themselves or to God anymore. I wish I could describe it better but it has been a concern of mine for quite a long time now and I feel like it is getting worse. People would always say things to me like, Josh it is just a different time. But honestly, I think that is just a lame excuse. And the reason I say that is because a lot of those same people who say that kind of stuff to me are the exact same people who then say that they don't understand how things around us are getting...

Nick is a local mechanic who has been serving this community for many, many years and has always been a generous, hard worker and honorable person at the Dickson's Garage along with his father Ken. He and his father are also local racing legends around here in Mifflin County having raced for a couple generations now. Nick and his family have always been honest with me and my family and has helped take care of our vehicles for many years. They are amazing,  hardworking people who now need our help. And according to the go fund me page that was set up by Andrea Baker and Valeri Thornburgh. The doctors had told his family that it will take months at minimum for him to be able to recover and will not be able to work for the foreseeable future. Please support anyway you can for the Dickson family in their time of need. ...
