Sin City

Frank Miller's Sin City is a seven-issue series published by Dark Horse's Vertige Graphic imprint from 1994 to 2001, a landmark in noir comics that Miller wrote, drew, and lettered himself. Set in the brutal, rain-slicked Basin City, each story follows a different hard-boiled protagonist—hitmen, ex-cons, and cops—through a world of corruption, violence, and stark moral choices. The series is defined by its high-contrast black-and-white art, cinematic paneling, and its pivotal role in redefining crime comics for a modern audience, cementing Miller's reputation as a master of the form.
