Frank Miller's Sin City Volume 2: A Dame to Kill For (Deluxe Edition)

by Frank Miller, Frank Miller (Illustrator)

Overview

This noir saga, filled with deadly temptation and betrayal, is presented for new fans and old with an oversized and slipcased hardcover that includes a portfolio and exclusive print.

Dwight is a man at the end of his good years, and the end of his rope. With a murky, violent past, weathered by years of alcoholism, he’s a man with nothing to his name but a seedy gumshoe job, his own demons, and memories of things that might’ve been love. Then one day one of those memories walks back into his life—Ava, in the flesh. She’s never forgotten about him, not after all these years, and now he’s her last chance to live another day.

Frank Miller’s return to his comic opus graphic novel series continues with the luxury edition of Volume 2 A Dame to Kill For. High-end materials and finishes, and iconic textures from the series combine in a package which evokes the striking asphalt jungle that is Sin City. Housed in a cloth-covered slipcase with foil stamping and printing is an oversized hardcover featuring a soft-touch matte finish with spot gloss and foil stamping. New to this edition is a three-page gallery featuring cover art for Volume 2. The slipcase includes a matching portfolio featuring a deluxe print of new artwork by Frank Miller.

As an added bonus, each volume’s slipcase has a different letter from the logo, placed on the front cover in such a way that alone it looks like a splash of red wrapping around the slipcase. But when all seven volumes are together it is clear that the grouping spells out “Sin City.”

Discerning fans and new readers can experience this noir masterpiece where old flames die hard in the most lavish edition to date!

About the Author

Frank Miller began his career in comics in the late 1970s, first drawing then writing Daredevil for Marvel Comics, creating what was essentially a crime comic disguised as a superhero book. It was on Daredevil that Miller gained notoriety, honed his storytelling abilities, and took his first steps toward becoming a giant in the comics medium. After Daredevil came Ronin, a science-fiction samurai drama that seamlessly melded Japanese and French comics traditions into the American mainstream; and after that, the groundbreaking and acclaimed Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year One, both of which not only redefined the classic character, but also revitalized the industry itself. Finally able to fulfill his dream of doing an all-out, straight-ahead crime series, Miller introduced Sin City in 1991. Readers responded enthusiastically to Miller's tough-as-leather noir drama, creating an instant sales success. His multi-award-winning 300 series from Dark Horse, a telling of history's most glorious and underreported battle, was brought to full-blooded life in 1998. In 2001, Miller returned to the superhero genre with the bestselling Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again. Frank Miller continues to push the medium into new territories, exploring subject matter previously untouched in comics, and his work consistently receives the highest praise from his industry peers and readers everywhere. In 2005, with the hugely successful Sin City movie release, codirected with Robert Rodriguez, Miller added a director's credit to his already impressive résumé and introduced his characters to an entirely new legion of fans worldwide.
