“It has been my extreme pleasure and honor to have worked so closely with Frank for over 20 years now,” says Schreck. The graphic novel is a no-holds-barred action thriller told in Miller’s trademark high-contrast, black-and-white visual style, which seizes the political zeitgeist by the throat and doesn’t let go until the last page. In HOLY TERROR, join The Fixer, a brand new, hard-edged hero as he battles terror. The announcement was made today by Bob Schreck, Editor-in-Chief of Legendary Comics.
For what it's worth, Miller has backed away from such comments, admitting he wasn't thinking clearly while creating it amidst a dark point in his life, leading to him disowning the book on a narrative and political level. Miller lived in New York City for most of his life and was only four miles from the attack when it happened, and much of the controversial themes present in Holy Terror were directly reflective of similar comments he would make on Islam and terrorism during its release.
Creator Breakdown: Like much of Miller's work following the tragedy, it's extremely obvious that the comic's jingoistic and xenophobic themes were rooted in Miller's extended trauma from 9/11.Creator Backlash: In this 2018 interview with The Guardian, Frank Miller expressed regret for making Holy Terror and the statements he made around the time of its publication, admitting that he "wasn't thinking clearly" and was "blinded by hatred" at the time when he wrote it and that in retrospect, he could see that it was terrible from both a political and storytelling standpoint.
