"Chapter Five: Victory" marks a pivotal moment in Frank Miller’s epic retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae, with Miller handling every aspect of the interior art, inks, colors, and letters—his signature style on full display. As the Arcadians fall and the Spartans stand defiant, Leonidas makes a fateful decision, sending Dilios back to Sparta with a message that could ignite a united Greece against Xerxes. The cover, also by Miller, captures the grim resolve of the moment in stark, powerful lines.
