Book Overview

This tale of Marv and his angel is steeped in murder, mystery, corruption, and vengeance. There is no light in a place like Sin City - only misery, crime, perversion... But for a single moment, amid the filth and degenerates, the hulking and unstable ex-con Marv has found an angel. She says her name is Goldie - a goddess who has blessed this wretched low-life with a night of heaven. But good things never last - a few hours later, Goldie is dead - murdered by his side without a mark on her body. Who was she? And who wanted her dead? The cops are on their way - it smells like a frame job, and this time, they won't let him live. Whoever killed Goldie... is going to pay.

Running After Goldie's Killer!

As a teenager I was very fond of comics, later my passion declined but I still pick up some classics as Harold Foster's "Prince Valiant", Hugo Pratt's "Corto Maltese" or the Argentinean Hector Oesterheld "El Eternauta" and enjoy them. I'm not immune to this kind of products, even if not a fan either. So I decided to watch "Sin City" movie and was overwhelmed by its dark imagery. Next step was to search for the original graphic...

It's not easy being green...

A pill popping murderer(with a soft heart) battles a flesh eating priest and his misunderstood cannibal friend. It just doesn't get any darker than this. Besides the unnaturally sexy women (most of whom are prostitutes), there is nothing attractive about this world that Frank Miller has created. Yet still...

A compelling and unforgettable tale of knight errantry

Anyone who has seen and enjoyed the recent Frank Miller/Robert Rodriguez film SIN CITY should definitely explore the graphic novels upon which the film is based. THE HARD GOODBYE was the first of Miller's series of novels, and the one upon which the Marv sequence in the film is based. As Miller tells it in interviews, he had been toying with the idea of creating some short 48-page comics dealing with a noirish urban area...

One of the best graphic novels ever

What can I say that hasn't already been said. Yes, it is violent and yes, Marv, the main character probably isn't your friendly everyday neighbor. But who cares? This is a comic book. It has a truely amazing storyline, the most wonderful graphic art I've ever witnessed in black and white. Superb!!! If you like this one, check out Frank Miller's "Daredevil, The Man without Fear" and "Batman, the Dark Knight Returns".
