Summary: I took his weapons away from him... ...both of them!
Review: Detective John Hartigan is only hours away from retirement but Nancy Callahan, age 11, is moments away from death. In the hands of a ruthless connected serial killer and rapist Nancy will suffer unmentionable ordeals. John Hartigan must raise his 38 cannon and ignor his failing health to save little Nancy, even at the expense of his dignity and his life.This cleverly written and exquisitely illustrated tale pulled from the dark gritty bounds of Frank Miller's Sin City series will rock you.John Hartigan is not your typical cop and his devotion to the protection of Nancy from the cruel menace that wishes to defile her spans eight years. Miller has created a superior character in Hartigan and molded a believable plot exploring the idiosyncratic mind of a killer and the devotion of an aging man whose body is no match for his adversary. Put away your preconceptions about the "comic book" medium and prepare to be flattened. In the tradition of "Pulp Fiction" and "Silence of the Lambs" "That Yellow Bastard" is praiseworthy celebration of human ability that is illustrated with maturity and candor. -Brian Franklin

Summary: WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING ABOUT FRANK MILLER & SIN CITY...
Review: Frank Miller is perhaps the most highly regarded of cartoonists working today. He has won multiple Eisner Awards and a Reben Award form the prestigious National Cartoonist's Society. After relaunching the Batman franchise with his graphic novel, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Frank Miller turned his attention to crime comics. The Sin City series is the result. "With characters like these, [Frank Miller is] rejuvenating the vernacular American art form of comics." The New York Times "Frank Miller's Sin City series takes Raymond Chandler and - yikes! - goes one up on the nihilism. His characters are classic movie archetypes: the whore with a heart of gold, the good girlfriend turned bad, the stoci hit man. But in Miller's work the hero - or antihero - usually ends up dead." Playboy "Frank Miller changed the comix world forever. His stories are told with a style that locks you into his world. His art is dark and foreboding, overflowing with passion. If you haven't read anything by Frank Miller, do yourself a favor and get lost in Sin City." Spazz Magazine "[Sin City] could well be a textbook on ways to handle dense, complex, heavy-line art with no shades of gray - a daring experiment, but one Miller's well-capable of handling. Classic film fans and experimental comics fans alike will be eagerly awaiting for him to continue making this kind of magic." The Daily Iowan "The truth - not fantasy - about Frank Miller is he's not done yet. The man's still a young man. And the world is still waiting." Deseret News (Salt Lake City, UT) "[Sin City]'s engaging characters and stunning noir art make it one of the best (and best-selling) works in the comics field today." The Onion (Madison, WI) "In stark pages of black and white, Frank Miller is again re-defining what the medium is capable of, and, more importantly, breathing new life into a genre long thought dormant." Carpe Noctem "re-invented his entire genre" - SOMA, the magazine of Left Coast Culture

Summary: Wow.
Review: Frank Miller takes us back to the world of Sin City with a bang. This book is a perfect example of Miller's uncanny ability to turn the most common everyday people into modern-day tragic heroes. Hartigan's story is a change from Mr. Miller's "criminal-with-a-heart-of-gold" tales of earlier Sin City volumes. Also, this is his first (and best) use of color in the Sin City series. Needless to say, this book is a non-stop gripper from start to finish that everyone, comic fans or not, should have on their bookshelf.

Summary: The Essential Hard Luck Heroe Story
Review: Frank Miller's "That Yellow Bastard" is not for the weak of heart, but that should not keep non-Miller fans at bay. The pacing of the plot and development of the characters is done perfectly. Each black and white page keeps you captivated, sucks you in and leaves you unable to put it down. One of the few graphic novels I have ever read that I was moved by the main character. Miller fan or not you have to check out this book.

Summary: Best Comic Series / Graphic Novel.... Ever
Review: I thoroughly enjoy reading Frank Millers work. It is very refreshing at highly original. THIS in my opinion, is his best. I am not going into the plot, because its been already stated many times. This is by far the most beautiful comic mini series.
It has feeling, emotion, action and thought. I love it. I knew what happens in the end before I read it, but after reading it I still was shocked. It actual brought emotions out of ME. Very powerful stuff.
If you like Frank Miller, or Sin City pick this up the second you have a chance.
If you don't know Frank Miller or Sin City, but want to get into it...Check out the others before this.
Can't wait for this live action on the silver screen in Sin City the movie. Bruce Willis = Hartigan. Good choice.

Summary: Sin City's best
Review: If Dirty Harry worked out of Sin City, he would be Hartigan. The strict moral code, the unorthodox way of handling things, the utmost respect for the law and the utmost disrespect for anyone who tries to break it; it's all there. But Dirty Harry never worked in Sin City, and Dirty Harry always had the law on his side. If Sin City ever produced an honest-to-god hero, it is Hartigan. He's not a thug like Marv, and he's not a criminal like Dwight. His faults aren't faults at all, but obstacles placed before him because of his greatest strengths. He suffers immeasurably for wanting to help someone. He suffers even more for wanting to help her again. If Dwight is the one that gets away, it's because he is no better than the world he inhabits. Hartigan is the one that pays, because the world can not endure a hero as pure as Hartigan. That Yellow Bastard is the proof that Frank Miller gives as to why the enduring heroes in Sin City such as Marv, Dwight, and Miho aren't heroes at all, but merely grim reflections of the city that they live in. They have made the necessary adaptations to exist in an ugly place like Sin City. They aren't necessarily bad people, but they do bad things. Sin City isn't necessarily a bad town, but bad things happen there. But Hartigan is a good person that does good things. Sin City is not a place for a man like Hartigan to exist on the same terms as a man like Dwight. It is not fair, but it is the truth. That Yellow Bastard is the greatest of the Sin City books because in it we see Sin City in all of its awful glory; a place where hope doesn't come in its simple, most beautiful form, but instead as a hideous mutation that is disarming and unpleasant. Frank Miller reinvented the quintessential comic book superheroes Batman and Daredevil, and he even created the enduring character Elektra in the Daredevil books. But Hartigan is his greatest invention, because Hartigan is everything that makes superheroes great, placed inside a man with no special powers, but just a relentless determination to do what he feels is right.

Summary: Book Four is for brainless readers.
Review: If you like a big body count, tons of gore, and one page of plot, this is it. Bruce Willis is starring in the Sin City movie, Figures. Brainless actor stars` in a brainless movie, written by a drunk.

Summary: THAT YELLOW BASTARD IS ONE HELL OF A READ
Review: It's very simple to sum up this book and the rest of the Sin City collection: genius. Frank Miller is the greatest comic book writer in artist of our time, he has taken everyting he touches to the next level. Batman, Daredevil, Wolverine have all be priviledged to be written by Miller. His latest project with Sin City has taken comic books to a new level that no other writer out there can touch. He is pure genius.
