Our view
“Sin City” is noir at its most extreme: a black-and-white revenge story told with brutal force. Frank Miller draws in hard contrasts of light and shadow, and some readers feel that nothing later in the series matches the impact of this first book. It opens a run of seven volumes and suits readers who want crime fiction at its harshest.
