The cross-cultural appeal of Frank Miller
Spanish indie cartooner Pepo (El Vecino)is a regular Beat tipster, and also one of Spain’s indispensable bloggers with his Con C de Arte blog. He dropped us a note to alert us to a couple of odd European uses of Frank Miller iconography. One is a Sin City-esque ad for a Spanish TV show called CUENTA ATRÁS (”Countdown”).
The other is a bit more bizarre. Alleanza Nazionale, an Italian extreme right-wing (some say neo-fascist) party, is using a 300 drawing for a poster.
Oh Frank Miller, what have you wrought?

Oh, it’s not that bizarre a leap.
