Sin City (Dark Horse)

    (Dark Horse, 1993-1997)
™ and ©1997 Frank Miller, Inc.

Using stark, high contrast black-and-white imagery and a newfound penchant for noir storytelling, Frank Miller once again revitalized the comic form with his landmark Sin City series. The original story, told here, is that of a scarred hulk of a man named Marv as he searches for justice—and a reason to live—in a dark world where life is cheap. Marv’s tale began when a woman he had no right to expect would ever give him the time of day instead gave him a night to remember. The next morning, she was dead—killed beside him while he slept off the previous night’s booze. Marv was haunted by her memory and determined to find the killer. Even while he is hunted as the girl’s supposed killer, Marv must uncover the grisly truth behind the woman’s death. And in doing so, he will lay bare the true face of power in Sin City.

Originally published as a serial in Dark Horse Presents, Sin City was collected into trade paperback format in 1993.
