SIN CITY is what happens when an artist like Miller...goes off the reservation, without the constraints that come with writing stories with an established hero like Batman or Daredevil. The artwork is bold, harshly monochromatic, thrillingly violent....[SIN CITY: THE HARD GOODBYE is] pitch-black funny and strangely touching....[P]ractically unforgettable. These pages leave scars, baby.
