In the years since, Sin City has spawned a total of seven graphic novels, all written and drawn by Frank Miller himself, winning every conceivable industry award along the way and resulting in two sensational movies, co-directed by Miller with Robert Rodriguez. In 1991, when Miller introduced Sin City in the comic book pages of Dark Horse Presents, he brought crime fiction back to an industry dominated for decades by superheroes, and his groundbreaking brand of neo-noir, complete with bad guys, badder girls, and the baddest cars, hit like a bulldozer, changing the course for generations of cartoonists, authors, and filmmakers to come - and, most importantly, for the millions of readers who braved the boundaries of Basin City and never once looked back. “The Night is hot as Hell.” With these six scrappy words, comics wunderkind Frank Miller ushered in a scrappy new hero in a scrappy new series with a scrappy young publishing company, breaking all the conventional rules and in the process revolutionizing the world of so-called funnybooks.
