| It's probably been about 12 years since I last read A Dame to Kill For, so I got to come into it fairly fresh. I still remember some of the bigger plot points and major scenes, but details were fuzzy. The net result was that I was absolutely knocked on my ass by the comic. Re-reading A Dame to Kill For reminded me why I love Miller's work so much. The atmosphere, the characters, and the art - it's all top notch and wickedly cool. Miller hasn't put out any new Sin City stories since the lack luster Sin City: Hell and Back (the only Sin City trade I didn't purchase with my eBay revenues), but if the sum total of his Sin City work is no more than what has come out to date - then it's been a glorious run and I'm glad that I have what I have. I can re-read his books for a long time. The stories are so entertaining and the visuals so compelling you want to come back again and again. |
