![]() ![]() ![]() With Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (co-directed by Miller and Robert Rodriguez) hitting theaters this weekend, we revisited the entire Sin City corpus and picked out the series’$2 25 most incredible panels (in no particular order). Miller played with extreme contrasts and vivid textures in a way that had rarely been attempted in the medium (though he owed a heavy debt to the pioneering quasi-noir of Will Eisner’s The Spirit comics of the 1940s), creating visuals as experimental as they were unforgettable. But one thing was inarguable: The artwork was beautiful. ![]() Those stories were collected in the omnibus Frank Miller’s Big Damn Sin City (2014). The plots weren’t groundbreaking - they all centered around tough guys and slinky dames getting caught up in deadly schemes and brutal fisticuffs. Miller spent much of the 1990s working on Sin City, a noir epic published in multiple installments by Dark Horse Comics. Between 19, legendary (and endlessly controversial) writer and artist Frank Miller cranked out more than 1,000 pages of hard-boiled neo-noir under the Sin City banner. The Sin City movies deserve praise for their daring visuals, but they’ve got nothing on the original comics. ![]()
