Frank Miller's Signing History

Frank Miller has been an accessible signer throughout his career. Unlike Alan Moore’s principled refusal, Miller has participated in conventions, comic book shop signings, and organized signing events. His signatures are available in reasonable quantities, though health issues in recent years have reduced his public appearances.

Signing Patterns

Miller has been a regular presence at major comics conventions, including San Diego Comic-Con, New York Comic Con, and various smaller events. He has participated in publisher-organized signings and has signed at comic book shops, particularly in the New York City area where he has lived for much of his career.

Signature Characteristics

Miller’s signature is bold and graphic — as befits a visual artist. He often includes small sketches alongside his signature, particularly when signing comics. These sketches — typically quick pen drawings of Batman, Sin City characters, or abstract marks — add value to signed copies.

Market Implications

Miller’s accessibility means that signed copies of his major works are available at reasonable premiums over unsigned copies. The premium is typically 50–200% rather than the 500–1000%+ that Moore signatures command. The key value drivers are condition of the underlying comic or book, edition priority, and the presence or absence of an original sketch.
