Sin City
Sin City is the title for a series of stories by Frank Miller, told in comic book form in a film noir-like style. The first story originally appeared in Dark Horse Presents from April of 1991 to June of 1992, under the title of Sin City, serialized in thirteen parts. Several other stories of variable lengths have followed. All stories take place in Basin City, with frequent recurring characters and intertwining stories.
A movie adaptation of Sin City, directed by Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller, was released on April 1, 2005.
The Sin City graphic novels were reprinted with new covers and in a reduced size to commemorate the motion picture's theatrical release.
