Synopsis "Frank Miller's sin City Volume 1: The Hard Goodbye"
The crime noir masterpiece that has gripped audiences for decades is back in an oversized and slipcased hardcover that includes a portfolio, exclusive print, and a sketchbook of never-before-published development art. There is no light in a place like Sin City--only misery, crime, and perversion. Amid the filth and degenerates, the hulking and unstable ex-con Marv has found an angel. Her name is Goldie--a goddess who has blessed this wretched low-life with one night of heaven. But good things never last--a few hours later, Goldie is dead--murdered at his side without a mark on her body. Who was she? And who wanted her dead? The cops are on their way--it smells like a frame job, and this time, they won't let him live. Whoever killed Goldie . . . is going to pay.
