Product Description

Product Description
Just one hour to go. Hartigan's polishing his badge and working himself up to kissing it goodbye, it and the thirty-odd years of protecting and serving, tears, blood, and triumph that it represents. He's thinking about his wife's smile, about the thick, fat steaks she's picked up at the butcher's, about the bottle of champagne she's got packed in ice, about sleeping in 'til ten in the morning and spending sunny afternoons flat on his back. But with one hour left to go, he gets word about that one loose end he hasn't tied up: a young girl who's helpless in the hands of a drooling lunatic. Just one hour to go ... and Hartigan's gonna go out with a bang.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thrill a minute, 6 Feb 2007
What can I say - brilliant.

I chose to review this one and not the others as

a) people who read the series will suspect review the first one only, and
b) this is is my favourite of them all (personally)

Buy all of these books, 1-7, they are all truly great stories. Some people have knocked the graphical style of these books - to me, they are one of the high points - they has a superb style all of their own. Millers dialogue, jokes, slang and story are all superb - great film noir, and add in his sound effects (SPAK! HEFF!) and he really has made this series unique Miller.

Finally, I'm not a fan of comparisons with films - usually graphic novels are changed dramatically (often for the worse) in the movies. Sin City is different. I thought it was a cracking film and is incredibly faithful to the books (although in differing order). Therefore, for once I can say, if you liked the film you'll love the book, as opposed to if you hated the film dont be put off by the book.

Cinematic, thrill a minute series.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not The Best......., 19 Jul 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Sin City: That Yellow Bastard (Hardcover)
That Yellow Bastard....does exactly what it says on the cover. That is, he's yellow, and my, what a bastard he is! In typical Sin City stylee, this is a tale of revenge and redemption. The main character, Hartigan is every bit as lovable as Marv, and the other regulars, but the story does not twist and turn as the previous episodes do. It all seems like a very long-winded way of telling a short, but heart rendering story of what is basically boy-meets-girl, boy-loses-girl, boy goes crazy-ape-bonkers and kills everyone. This has already been done by the solo Miller in the eponymous debut and 'The Big Fat Kill'. Still this series has got legs, and if anyone can keep it going it is King Frank.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great stand alone story too! , 13 Sep 2008
Having loved the film, it was only a matter of time before I delved into the graphic form of frank miller's sin city. I started with that yellow bastard, knowing the plot for the first book (The hard goodbye) inside out. Although this is in fact book 4 it is still a great place to start, the story which I wont go into detail about doesn't really connect with the other books in the series in any major way, so this is great as a stand alone novel too!

I was a big miller fan long before reading sin city, the dark knight returns being masterfully writen and 300 just blowing me away entirely. That yellow bastard though, for me topped them all. Miller's artwork is amazing, striking out from every page. The story, although no war & peace runs along at break neck speeds and the only down side I found was that I read it all too quickly and was disappointed to finish it, thankfully sin city is a series.

If you're new to sin city entirely then I would advise you read this first before watching the film, bruce willis is good as hartigan the main character in the film but I don't think he was the best choice and reading the book I get a completely different feel for the hartigan character to that portrayed on screen.
