...always enjoy the art. As with the first "Dark Knight," Miller does the pictures as well as words. His style has gotten goofier in the intervening years. He mixes traditional superhero tropes like broad shoulders and rippling muscles with absurd caricature elements like giant feet and hands.

...have everything, and considering the difficulties of its creation, The Marrying Man is something: a comedy that bounces skittishly down a lane that memory has not traveled in a while. Maybe it's silly. But it does awaken a nostalgic fondness for an era when celebrity dreaming was goofier, giddier and less consequential than...
