Description
I really can't believe I'm checking Frank Miller off my wish list.

I've been watching for years as collectors snapped up DKR and Daredevil pages for way more than I can afford. I came close to breaking the bank a time or two on an example that I would have been happy with, but really wouldn't have been worth the cost in my price range.

Then after some chatting with a friend – thanks, Lambert – I realized that not only was something from Sin City going to be more in my price range, but better suited for my visual tastes as well. So then it was just a matter of finding a page that had everything I wanted on it. And I want it all:

✔ Snow or rain
✔ A little violence
✔ Onomatopoeia
✔ Stark black and white (preferably one of his signature white silhouettes)
✔ One of the ladies of Sin City (and Miho is a favorite)

I'd say I did OK checking the boxes.

Sin City is the best value choice for Frank Miller art - at least of this typing - congrats!

Miller's art for Sin City brings with it his artistic evolution with an ability to bridge the past and future of the crime noir illustration artform.  It brings a gritty and more aggressive look that inspire the imagination for us to fill in the great moments taking place on the page.  Very masterful in how he handles this fight with violence and sex appeal.

Great addition Mike. I loved Family Values. Looking back it was maybe Miller's last great work...as evident by hitting all those check marks.
