Legendary comic book creator Frank Miller visits Barnes & Noble on Fifth Avenue in New York City on Friday, October 9th, 2026 at 12:00 PM EST to celebrate his autobiographical book Push the Wall: My Life, Writing, Drawing, and the Art of Storytelling.

In the book Push the Wall, Frank Miller shares his life and artistic process. Miller’s artistic influence is evident in so very much of our popular culture, perhaps most notably with Batman, where every film adaptation from the past forty years has been influenced by Miller’s work with the dark knight. Simply, Frank Miller has transformed the way comics are told.

Here, Miller’s mix of autobiographical lessons evokes Patti Smith’s Just Kids as it weaves his struggles as a seventeen-year-old kid fresh from Vermont into a seedy 1970s New York City, with his eventual success on reimagining Daredevil and Wolverine. From there to Miller’s rescue and revitalization of Batman, to his time in Hollywood, the Sin City comics and film adaptations he would codirect, and the retelling of the Spartans’ last stand in 300. Miller, by constantly challenging himself as an artist and writer on his terms, built an iconoclastic career.

With over a dozen illustrations of Miller’s art, Push the Wall is the work of his career. The book is a masterclass as it encapsulates his life in sixteen lessons for the aspiring creative reader.

No memorabilia or backlist titles are signed during the event. Only copies of the book Push the Wall are signed.
