Sin City

Frank Miller’s hardboiled crime saga, originally published in English by Dark Horse but collected here in a German edition by Carlsen Comics, ran for seven issues from 1994 to 1996. Written primarily by Miller and translated by Karlheinz Borchert, with Miller handling the stark, high-contrast black-and-white art, the series established a brutal, film-noir world where violence and corruption are the only laws. Its raw, minimalist storytelling and visual style redefined the crime genre in comics, making it a landmark work of the 1990s that continues to influence the medium.
