The delicate balance between cops and criminals is in peril in this gritty noir graphic novel presented in deluxe packaging, including an oversized hardcover housed in a slipcase with a portfolio and print. Dwight owes a debt to the girls of Old Town. These dangerous women who walk the night have saved him more times than he can count, and finding friends like that isn't easy. Tonight, these friends are being threatened in more ways than one . . . Dwight is going to do whatever it takes to bring them peace and keep the status quo--even if it means killing a whole lot of people. Frank Miller's return to his comic opus graphic novel series continues with the luxury edition of Volume 3 The Big Fat Kill. High-end materials and finishes, and iconic textures from the series combine in a package which evokes the striking asphalt jungle that is Sin City. Housed in a cloth-covered slipcase with foil stamping and printing is an oversized hardcover featuring a soft-touch matte finish with spot gloss and foil stamping. The slipcase includes a cloth portfolio featuring a deluxe print of new artwork by Frank Miller. This edition does still include the ten-page pinup gallery from previous editions, featuring art from Arthur Adams, Mike Allred, Sergio Aragonés, Paul Chadwick, Joe Kubert, Mike Mignola, John Romita, Jim Silke, Walter Simonson, and Sergio Toppi. Also included is a slightly expanded eight-page cover gallery featuring art from previous editions. As an added bonus, each volume's slipcase has a different letter from the logo, placed on the front cover in such a way that alone it looks like a splash of red wrapping around the slipcase. But when all seven volumes are together it is clear that the grouping spells out "Sin City." Discerning fans and new readers can experience this unparalleled and action-packed noir masterpiece in the most exciting edition to date! FOR MATURE READERS
About the Author
Frank Miller began his career in comics in the late 1970s, first drawing then writing Daredevil for Marvel Comics, creating what was essentially a crime comic disguised as a superhero book. It was on Daredevil that Miller gained notoriety, honed his storytelling abilities, and took his first steps toward becoming a giant in the comics medium. Next came Ronin, a science-fiction samurai drama that seamlessly melded Japanese and French comics traditions into the American mainstream; and then the groundbreaking and acclaimed Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year One, both of which not only redefined the classic character, but also revitalized the industry itself. Finally able to fulfill his dream of doing an all-out, straight-ahead crime series, Miller introduced Sin City in 1991. Readers responded enthusiastically to Miller's tough-as-leather noir drama, creating an instant sales success. His multi-award-winning 300 series from Dark Horse, a telling of history's most glorious and underreported battle, was brought to full-blooded life in 1998. In 2001, Miller returned to the superhero genre with the best-selling Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again.
Frank Miller continues to push the medium into new territories, exploring subject matter previously untouched in comics, and his work consistently receives the highest praise from his industry peers and readers everywhere. In 2005, with the hugely successful Sin City movie release, co-directed with Robert Rodriguez, Miller added a director's credit to his already impressive resumé and introduced his characters to a new legion of fans worldwide.
