Sin City Volume 1: The Hard Goodbye
by
by
Frank Miller written, drawn, inked etc.- tick
Neo-noir in black, white and shadows - tick
First person neo-Mickey Spillane-esque narrator - tick
Unreliable narrator with mental health issues - tick
Almost uniquely constructed reality, speculative fiction setting - tick
This. Book. Is. Smoking!
I can't imagine what is was like for a comic reader to pick this up and read for the first time back in 1991! It would have blown people's minds on so many levels. A absolute must-read as one of the most essential comic book series ever written. It's not perfect, but what it does well, it does really well. It's ultimately a lad's fantasy, which some may see as a negative. 9 out of 12.
