Frank Miler's Big Damn Sin City by Dark Horse.


The biggest, baddest Sin City ever is here, just in time for Fall’s Sin City 2: A Dame to Kill For! This imposing volume, suitable for home defense, contains all seven of Frank Miller’s landmark Sin City yarns! In these tales of Marv, Dwight, Gail, Miho, Hartigan, Nancy, and the Yellow Bastard, no corner of Basin City is left unturned, and no bloody deed is left undone. Written with unmatched intensity and drawn in the starkest black and white imaginable, the Sin City books make up the greatest crime saga in comics history, and Big Damn Sin City is the best way to rediscover it!
- write up from Frank Miller's Big Damn Sin City.
 
At a staggering 1,360 pages, nearly 4 inches thick, 14 x 9 inches in size, this hardcover omnibus singularly collects all primary Sin City trade paperback books with all one-shot stories thrown in as well. Published via Dark Horse, this is great for those whom miss out on this seedy, violent neo-noir tales illustrated in contrasting black and white by Frank Miller with Lynn Varley. Now having read these stories in one form or another, and pass up the Library Edition due to costs, this "big damn" book is just perfect for me to have all the stories in omnibus format at, well, affordable price comparatively. Perfect for "home defence" indeed. And like Hellboy, I don't feel like twenty plus years have passed, as Sin City was first debut back in 1991. Wish some one would make a Frank Miller's version of Marv and other characters in 1/6th scale. The only set back is that Frank Miller's illustration "changed" over time. It has, for the lack of better word, "sketchy" in comparison to the first story of the series.
