*Miscellaneous 1960 Onwards: Frank Miller’s Sin City burst on to the comics scene in 1991, firmly establishing the neo-noir mood he had built on in his earlier classic run on Daredevil and the seminal Dark Knight Returns. The series was chock-full of the dark, seedy characters that inhabit the city and the locations that form it. The film noir influence on the series’ artwork is seen in its use of shadow and stark backgrounds. Black and white are the sole colours most of the time, with other colour used sparingly to highlight certain characters. The writing style also draws heavily on detective and crime pulp fiction. The original Sin City series (later entitled The Hard Goodbye) originally appeared in serial form in Dark Horse Presents, but was never printed in its own comic title. Here it is represented in graphic novel form – the story of Marv, the main protagonist of Sin City, a hulking brute of a villain. Likewise, Family Values was only presented in graphic novel form, and continues the story of Dwight, Miller’s other main protagonist and the girls of Old Town. For our last visit to Sin City, we present both these stories in graphic novel form.
