In a Sin City short story, "The Babe Wore Red," Frank Miller deviated from his stark black-and-white artwork by adding tiny bits of color throughout the story. The girl's dress was red, her lips were red--you get the picture. In That Yellow Bastard, the fourth Sin City graphic novel, Miller's experiment with yellow ink is also a tremendous success.

The girl's dress was red, her lips were red--you get the picture. In That Yellow Bastard, the fourth Sin City graphic novel, Miller's experiment with yellow ink is also a tremendous success. The setup is simple. On the last day before he retires, Hartigan, an old cop, gets a call about an 11-year-old girl who has been kidnapped by a lunatic. Hartigan has got just one more thing to do before he retires: save the girl. Saving her is the easy part, because Hartigan has uncovered something really bad that is not going to stop until it catches up with him. That Yellow Bastard is nerve-racking to the very end. less

The tasty Hell and Back features Wallace, a brooding artist with a decided talent for hurting people, and Esther, a stunningly beautiful actress accidentally mixed up in a slavery ring that extends far and deep enough to transcend the word conspiracy. The tale twists, turns, and backtracks, teasing the reader with hints of terror to come--until the explosive climax. Miller's art is exactly right for his words; he uses more black than white, and color only when appropriate. The chapter dealing with Wallace's drug hallucinations is beautiful, heartbreaking, and terrifying in turn. Readers interested in the human dark side should find out what fans of Sin City already know: Frank Miller has seen it and wants to share. --Rob Lightner less

In 1991, when Miller introduced Sin City in the comic book pages of Dark Horse Presents, he brought crime fiction back to an industry dominated for decades by superheroes, and his groundbreaking brand of neo-noir, complete with bad guys, badder girls, and the baddest cars, hit like a bulldozer, changing the course for generations of cartoonists, authors, and filmmakers to come — and, most importantly, for the millions of readers who braved the boundaries of Basin City and never once looked back.In the years since, Sin City has spawned a total of seven graphic novels, all written and drawn by Frank Miller himself, winning every conceivable industry award along the way and resulting in two sensational movies, co-directed by Miller with Robert Rodriguez. All seven Sin City yarns are collected here, in this one monster volume, suitable for home defense — over 1300 big damn pages of unmatched intensity in which no corner of Basin City is left unturned and no bloody deed is left undone.With larger-than-life tales of Marv's hard goodbye, Dwight's deadly dame to kill for, and Hartigan's brawl with that yellow bastard, among others, Frank Miller's Sin City books make up the biggest, baddest crime saga in comics history, and Big Damn Sin City is the perfect way to jump right into the whole darn shootin' match! less
