![]() ![]() ![]() The night sky dotted with stars with the half-blown dandelion clock in the foreground is beautiful and evocative. This offering, produced by William Morrow Paperbacks in April 2013 is more like it. The mood achieved is poignant and thoughtful – though I can do without the band of raspberry pink across the top of the cover for the title and author. ![]() The artwork is lovely – I particularly like the portrait of the young boy set against the apple blossom and the dandelion clock. This cover was produced by Earthlight in July 2000.

Just as good as the stories in the original film with same great quality acting, hardcore action and brutal visuals. Considered to be one of the better stories in the original comic books, it's a good thing they still had one such story to wrap their movie around. Tellingly Miller was actually called back to write two new stories exclusively for the film. Not that the stories used here are bad, they're just not as great as the ones used in the first one. Unfortunately they decided to stick all the best stories into the first film, thus guaranteeing its success, but leaving the possible sequel without much material to use. Frank Miller's Sin City universe is a rich and interesting setting, and as the first Sin City film proved, it translates to the silver screen beautifully. ![]() Sin City: A Dame to Kill For is not a bad idea on paper. ![]() ![]() ![]()
