Sin City: Lost, Lonely, & Lethal

    (Dark Horse, 1996)
™ and ©1996 Frank Miller

Frank Miller, comics’ enfant terrible and the talent behind Daredevil and Batman: The Dark Knight, has honed his dark vision down to its starkest essence in his ongoing series of comics-noir, Sin City. In Sin City, the guys are wise, the dames are dangerous, and everyone and everything is irredeemably corrupt. Lost, Lonely and Lethal is a brutal little one-shot exploring the dangers and temptations of love lost and found again in the seamy Sin City underworld. In 1997, Miller famously decried the “retro” impulse in comics as “nostalgia with a nose ring.” In Sin City: Lost, Lonely and Lethal, Miller serves up nostalgia for the good old days of the 1930s and 40s on the business end of a branding iron: hot, personal, and with intent to leave a permanent impression.
