His film Sin City earned a Palme d'Or nomination, and he has received every major comic book industry award. In 2015, Miller was inducted into the Eisner Awards Comic Book Hall of Fame.

He created the comic book characters Elektra for Marvel Comics' Daredevil series, and the future version of the Robin character, Carrie Kelly, for DC Comics.

Miller is noted for combining film noir and manga influences in his comic art creations. “I realised when I started Sin City that I found American and English comics be too wordy, too constipated, and Japanese comics to be too empty. So I was attempting to do a hybrid”.
