The story this time features the shaky truce between Old Town prostitutes and the Sin City police. When a cop is killed in Old Town, the protagonist takes great pains to cover up the death and protect the women from the repercussions. Mayhem ensues.

When "Sin City" first appeared, it was a revelation. The use of negative space, the noir elements, the over-the-top scripting, all served to separate it from that which had come before. With "The Big Fat Kill", Miller's enthusiasm for the series seems to be on the wane. Essential for Sin City completists only.
