(USE MAY100033) SIN CITY TP VOL 01 HARD GOODBYE CURR PTG (MR
(W) Frank Miller (A/CA) Frank Miller
Legendary artist Frank Miller opened a noir opus in Sin City. This critically acclaimed triumph-honored by both an Eisner Award and the prestigious National Cartoonists' Award-combines the pulp intensity of writers like Spillane and Cain with the gritty graphic storytelling that only Miller can deliver. Sin City is the place-tough as leather and dry as tinder. Love is the fuel, and the now-infamous character Marv has the match ... not to mention a "condition." He's gunning after Goldie's killer, so it's time to watch this town burn!
  •  Sin City will be a major motion picture in 2005, directed by Miller and Robert Rodriguez (Desperado, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, SpyKids) and featuring a cast of Hollywood all-stars.
  • The upcoming Frank Miller's Sin City motion-picture will be based on three Sin City titles: Sin City: The Hard Goodbye; Sin City: The Big Fat Kill; and Sin City: That Yellow Bastard.
  • All of the Sin City titles will be redesigned by award-winning book designer, Chip Kidd.
