Frank Miller (Give Me Liberty, Hard Boiled, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns) created a new noir opus in Sin City. The critically-acclaimed triumph - recently awarded the prestigious National Cartoonists' Award for Best Comic Book of 1992 - is now collected for the first time and features 18 new pages! Sin City combines the pulp intensity of writers like Spillane and Cain with the exciting graphic storytelling that only Miller and Dark Horse can deliver. Sin City is the place - tough as leather and dry as tinder. Love is the fuel and "Violent" Marv has the match. Watch it burn! Sin City makes a great gift for the holidays, so order accordingly. Cover by Miller.

It's one of those hot nights, dry and windless. The kind that makes people do sweaty, secret things. Dwight's thinking of all they ways he's screwed up and what he'd give for one clear chance to wipe the slate clean, to dig his way out of the numb grey hell that is his life. And he'd give anything. Just to cut loose. Just to feel the fire. One more time.

Dark Horse proudly releases the latest Sin City collection from comics master Frank Miller. This new book features never-before-collected stories in Miller`s harsh, dramatic black-and-white style, with some highlighted in a special color. This volume also features new art by Miller created especially for this collection. Collects The Babe Wore Red; Silent Night; Lost, Lonely, & Lethal; Sex & Violence; Just Another Saturday Night; and more.

This 126-page epic spilled out of Frank all at once. He doesn't want to serialize it — he wants you to read it in one sitting. So we're bringing it to you in a single package! It features Miho on roller-blades, Dwight on adrenaline, and the Sin City mob on clean-up detail! If you've never visited the town without pity, it's time to book your travel plans.

In the Town Without Pity, good men are hard to find. Enter Wallace, a man of mystery. He's a nice guy who's very good at killing people. Out for an evening drive along the beach, he meets the woman of his dreams — and she's trying to kill herself. Why? And who are the shadowy cabal of power brokers who wrench her from his arms? When will all hell break loose? Comics legend Frank Miller, creator of the groundbreaking Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, pounds out his longest Sin City graphic novel to date, a bare-knuckle barrage of brutal action, dark secrets, and heroic sacrifice. What the hell — it's a love story! Includes color sections and pinups by a who's who of comics luminaries, including Lynn Varley's first actual comics illustration.

Just one hour to go. Hartigan's polishing his badge and working himself up to kissing it good-bye, it and the thirty-odd years of protecting and serving and tears and blood and triumph that it represents. He's thinking about his wife's slow smile, about the thick, fat steaks she's picked up at the butcher's, about the bottle of champagne she's got packed in ice, about sleeping in till ten in the morning and spending sunny afternoons flat on his back. Just one hour to go and he gets word from a stoolie about that one loose end he hasn't tied up, a young girl who's out there, helpless in the hands of a drooling lunatic. Just one hour to go . . . and he's gonna go out with a bang. Collecting the entire six-issue series, plus an additional 16 pages of story, an eight-page color cover gallery, and an all-new color cover!

Criminals have always called the shots in Sin City, whether they were bootleggers, gamblers, or politicians. But since the first dame set up shop in Old Town, those side streets have been run by the women that walk the night. Now the mob's looking to break up the party and reclaim Old Town. They're gonna have to put down a bunch of tough gals and one guy named Dwight to do it. Dwight, he knows something that the mob's gotta learn the hard way: Sometimes standing up for your friends means killing a whole lot of people . . .
