Sin City: A Dame to Kill For

Frank Miller’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For is a six-issue noir saga from Dark Horse, published in 1993–1994, that deepens the brutal, shadow-drenched world of Basin City. Written and drawn entirely by Miller, this second story arc follows the doomed, obsessive love of private eye Dwight McCarthy as he’s ensnared by the lethally beautiful Ava Lord. A cornerstone of the Sin City series, it showcases Miller’s stark, high-contrast art and hard-boiled storytelling at their most visceral, cementing the franchise’s reputation for pulp-noir intensity.
