As far sa noir can go

If you don't like noir genre, you shouldn't even be bothering yourself with this thing. To answer what exactly makes noir genre so compelling, would take, and don't be mistaken, it took, many written pages. But very few of them would make you change your mind about this genre. It is the kind of writing what was written from fans to fans. No foreigners allowed.

And where will one start if he doesn't know anything about noir but still, somehow wants to read and see and learn? Naturally, answer would be wikipeda or some kind of compendium like "The rough guide to noir". Eventually, if interest develops itself to love, one will search for more.

In this period of time, we stumble upon Sin City. Sin City is not about vengeance, it's not about crime and senseless shooting, Sin City is hommage for every black and white gangster movie you ever watched, Sin City is direct slap in the face to all colourfull silver-age superheroes, Sin City is beat poetry, adrenaline packed song of Tom Waits, and "Dame to kill for" is marvelous example of what Sin City can be.

It is pointless to talk about plot here, or Millers technique in drawing or story-telling. You should be warned, if this is your first trip to Sin City (and I don't see any reason why would you start with issue no. 2 in the series) that Miller's art is something you should grow accustomed to, but somehow it is the exact kind of art that noir story needs.

Those of you who already read first Sin City story should know that, "Dame to kill for" beautifully puts itself in the created world. It feels like a piece of giant jigsaw puzzle that slid perfectly into its place.

Graphic SF Reader

Dodgy, deadly dames and manly male meatheads. Well, Dwight is not as dumb as all that, but he pretty much falls hook, line and sinker for the old slinking femme fatale routine. Those damned pheromones and all.

All is not as it seems, except for the hulking psycho bodyguard type. He is exactly what he seems.

Loved it

I didn't have high hopes as the start of the story was not as "hard-boiled" as expected. In classic Miller style, the sinister plot twists just engaged the reader.

Great Comic

This is a great comic book. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys great artistic talent and a great storyline. :)

It's one of those hot nights, dry and windless. The kind that makes people do sweaty, secret things. Dwight's thinking of all the 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 gray hell that is his life. And he'd give anything. Just to cut loose. Just to feel the fire. One more time. And then Ava calls.
