Family, Dating & Relationship Status
Throughout his life, Frank Miller has kept much of his personal life private. As of 2025, he is reportedly in a relationship, though details about his boyfriend or partner are not widely discussed in public forums. Miller has previously been married to artist Lynn Varley, with whom he collaborated on several projects. Their separation was a notable event in his personal narrative, and since then, Miller has focused largely on his career and personal contentment.
Daredevil #158 (May 1979), Miller's debut on that title, was the finale of an ongoing story written by Roger McKenzie and inked by Klaus Janson. After this issue, Miller became one of Marvel's rising stars.
However, sales on Daredevil did not improve, Marvel's management continued to discuss cancellation, and Miller himself almost quit the series, as he disliked McKenzie's scripts. Miller's fortunes changed with the arrival of Denny O'Neil as editor.
Realizing Miller's unhappiness with the series, and impressed by a backup story Miller had written, O'Neil moved McKenzie to another project so that Miller could try writing the series himself. Miller and O'Neil maintained a friendly working relationship throughout his run on the series. With issue #168 (Jan.
1981), Miller took over full duties as writer and penciller. Sales rose so swiftly that Marvel once again began publishing Daredevil monthly rather than bimonthly just three issues after Miller became its writer.
