The fifth chapter of Frank Miller's nine-part Sin City love story pulls no punches — literally. The cover finds a rugged, dark-haired man gripping a gun while bullet impacts ("SPAK SPAK SPAK") tear across his body, yet he stays grimly focused, trading terse words with an unseen companion in a wonderfully tense two-balloon exchange. Miller's raw linework and Lynn Varley's muted color palette give the scene an urgent, almost cinematic grit that perfectly captures the brutal heart of Basin City in 1999.
