Cutting edge book is NOW a movie, approved by Miller
Fans of Miller know and appreciate the cutting edge details of these novels or novellas in comic book form. But here's the latest scoop: Sin City is now in movie form, a form strongly overseen by Miller himself (who was, understandably, suspicious and... more

welcome to baSIN City!
Forget your tradtional comic book hero. Take away his cape, tights, super powers and give him a few beers and some percription medication and you have Sin City's anti-hero Marv. In this book you follow him on his journey of revenge and bloody justice.... more

Comic noir
With a name like "The Hard Goodbye," it isn't surprising that the first volume of the Sin City series is pure, gritty noir. After practically reinventing the superhero comic, Frank Miller created a series that can definitely be called his opus -- gritty,... more

Not Your Daddy's Comic Book
If Quentin Tarantino made comic books I am sure that they would be a lot like Sin City. This comic is ultra violent, lurid, and explicit.

The story is about a rough barfly by the name of Marv. After having a passionate one night stand with... more

If You Walk Down the Right Back Alley You Can Find Anything
Frank Miller once again shows his talent at creating a dark, gritty atmosphere that draws you into the story from the first page. At first, I considered not reading it because it is strictly in black and white. However, once you're deep into Marv's... more

A very good read.
The story may not be too complex but the execution is killer :)

Everything from the darkness to the violence to the amazing art work makes this a must read graphical novel. You should probably read this before the movie comes out (April... more

There is nothing not to like about this story.
This story involves major character development. Marv is character you will get to know & understand. I think that is something not very well done with most main characters in stories. Marv reveals & deals with his personal problems throughout the story.... more

It's Miller time!
This is an absolutely fantastic black and white graphic novel by Frank Miller, who helped revitalize the superhero genre with his versions of Batman and Daredevil. Sin City might be described as "film noir", except for the fact that it isn't a film,... more

Brilliant combinations of violence, mystery, love and more
This one of the best written graphic novels, which would not come s a suprise to anyone who has read any other works of Frank Miller. This story is one you can read over and over again. Nothing beats the character Marv. For all fans of Frank... more

One of the best graphic novels ever
What can I say that hasn't already been said. Yes, it is violent and yes, Marv, the main character probably isn't your friendly everyday neighbor. But who cares? This is a comic book. It has a truely amazing storyline, the most wonderful graphic art I've... more

Noir Perfected
I don't mean to categorize Frank Miller's "Sin City" by saying it is "noir perfected," but I feel that what this book does, it does perfectly. It's a dark, gritty, intense drama about a crime through the eyes of a murderer who is not guilty of the murder... more

It just doesn't get better than this
Frank Miller is the beatles! Being a teenager in the eighties was fairly devoid of revoultionary inspiration, especially in the artistic realms. Then i read the dark knight returns, i can only imagine it was a similar experience for those teenagers in... more

Am I the only one that doesn't love it?
Frank Miller is a sick, sick, man. I respect his directing abilities, he did some good work on Batman and some phenomenal work on Daredevil, but this series is pretty sick. This trade is the first installment in the Sin City series that's written and... more

Miller and Dark Horse equals terrible comics....
Well there is very little to like about this book. It's violent, has no story, and we are supposed to care about people who are nothing more then street gang killers. Miller is the writer who destroyed Batman and his non-existent writing skills show... more

Very sensitive people might be slightly shocked by Sin City
If I said that this is the most hard-boiled, unsentimental, brutal, and shocking graphic novels I've ever read I would not lie.
The black and white illustrations give that extra hard edge to the already hard story.
Marv is a psycho, he hears voices... more

Masterpiece
This is by far one of my All time favorite Frank Miller books. The art is dark and it fits the story VERY well! The story might be very "old school" and revenge driven, but he has done it only the way Frank can do it. It is told in a very dark... more

Beautifully Drawn But Very Short
The first sin city is a simple mainly to have something to show off the beautiful drawings. It was a bit over the top, but not as much as "A Dame to Kill For." You can finish reading "Sin City" the original in about an hour or less,... more

Great art is not enough
But it is such a perfect place to start, ho hum.

Macho posturing: check.
Zero characterization: check.
Idiotic plot: check.
Repetitive action: check.
Uninspired dialogue: check.

It also doesn't resemble any noir I've ever seen, in either... more
