 This image is from the limited edition lithograph released ten years ago to commemorate Frank Miller's 5-part comic book 300. Only 300 signed and numbered lithographs were made available and they sold out quickly. File Under: Artwork, Someone Else's; Movies |

Beheadings. Spurts of blood. Hacked off arms and legs. Gouged eyes. A tree decorated with the impaled and slain. A brick wall with dead bodies and blood used as mortar. A towering wall of corpses. Butchered horses, slain elephants (and one speared rhino). An army of "immortals" with hellishly scarred faces and teeth filed to points. The grotesque opulence of "power as might" from thousands of years ago.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you: 300.
Not for the squeamish, but a bloody good time.
