SIN CITY Vol. 1: THE HARD GOODBYE p.42

Frank must have made 'THE HARD GOODBYE' when he let this beauty go. As historic and great as it comes in this hobby! Huge congrats!

Very exceptional

To me, this is peak Miller and it feels fitting that this glorious (and gritty) page should be in your collection. 

Felix, there's a lot to like in this page! Lovely lasso motion, powerful composition in the top panel, off-panel "GHAK" and Marv's face carved out of stone. Big congrats!

Lasso motion...Right. Spotted that while trying to see more in the darkly lit parts on view. That joint really needs better lighting.

Quintessential Miller SS example!  Every panel's got something to see.  Big congrats, Felix!

Love studying all those faces in the bar.  And hard agree, if I could get a FM SC page it would have to be from Hard Goodbye!  

Gorgeous page! Miller at his best!

Damn. A thing of great beauty

Excellent.

Spectacular piece Felix!!! Congratulations on such an amazing addition to your collection!!! 

Miller at his best. That's one hell of a page.

Damn... Great page!

The creative freedom and creator control Miller had wanted was now in place.  This was the time to put the creative energies and his legendary status to the test.  Miller would lean in even further into the darkness and deliver hard hitting crime noir, the likes of which had not been seen in comics.  Nothing about this was going to be pretty and it's raw gruesome nature left bare what the artist was offering to the public.  No alterior motives, this was him and his unflinching view of the world that would expose and explore his thoughts on what is the best and worst in himself and human nature.  In a gallery of only A level pieces, this has found a home.

Only the best of the best for Felix! Big congrats man! Monster get! 

I saw you reveal this page in youtube last night and was hoping you would post it here so i could see it again. An incredible page to have from the series. Huge congratulations!

The Hard Goodbye knocked the door down, and it's still my favorite of the Sin City stories. This is definitely a choice page from the whole Sin City series. Huge congratulations on acquiring this!

Great shot of Marv and Nancy. Beautiful page and exactly what any FM fan would want. Now you need to find a page with Goldie. 

Beautiful page all around!  Congrats!  

Thats not Wolverine. Marv would have needed more than sticking plasters if Weevil was Wolverine. He would have needed a body bag... for himself...Goldie colored!

This is truly fantastic! I'm not even a Miller guy and I'm drooling over how perfect this is. Huge congrats!

Excellent!

Superb.   Couldn't ask for a better example.   Congrats!

So good brother!!

It's got everything - nothing else needs to be said.

Such a memorable page!  What a bold look this was when Miller first put it out in DHP and it still hits me hard now.  It's obviously Miller's work, but a totally new direction after all the various amazing styles he had pioneered before.  I enjoyed seeing this when you teased the CAF live audience on youtube on Thursday, and of course it was moving when you acknowledged all the contributors to Paltown.  BTW, please do continue to keep sold art posted to your site!

I've come to the conclusion that Frank Miller just sees the comic page in a different way than everyone else. He knows how to place black and white together to guide the viewer through the storytelling while also defining forms and figures in a way we've never seen before. It's genius, pure and simple. Congrats, Felix!

A W E S O M E

My house for a page like that

Pretty thrilling to see this. As a fan of the book it's fantastic you see this page "up close" on your CAF. As a relatively new member of the hubby is exhilarating to see this come right out of Franks hands into the wild. What other gems were in that drawer? The imagination runs wild. Congratulations! 

Excellent page! The Dark Knight run is phenomenal, but the Hard Goodbye will always be peak Miller to me. Congrats, Felix!  This is truly amazing. 

I think you're right.  Adjectiveless Sin City (I refuse to use its rebranded name) is peak Frank

Breathtaking !!! 

Gorgeous!!!! Perfect addition to your AMAZING collection, love everything you post bud!!

Yup, another reason for me to break my "no panel page" rule.  If someone ever comes along who uses negative space more effectively and dramatically than Frank, that would indeed be something to see.  Of course I expect us all to be long gone by then.  

Congrats Felix!  This is definitely a grail!

Wow - so much to like here but I can't take my eyes off the sweet Nancy action shots!

You can't ask for more. Congrats Felix for that score!

OMG ¡¡¡¡ The best page of the CAF AWESOME ¡¡¡¡

Great page, loved the Sin City series! Congrats!

That's me in the upper right, passed out drunk & depressed that this beauty went home to your house instead of mine...

A perfect Hard Goodbye page > Congrats Felix!

The best story arc from Sin City. Great choice Felix!!!!

If there was one to pick... You did the right thing! Nancy and Marv on the same page (not counting the Wolverine cameo) is priceless!

One of the best pages of the best period of Miller's career! Congrats!

This checks all the Miller Sin City boxes for sure - homerun historic piece of paper and ink. Congrats! Thanks for sharing!

Fantastic Felix!

Gorgeous!

If I could pick just a single artwork from your collection this one would be a contender for sure! So so so awesome!
