So forget about checking them out on your iPhone. You know what they are, those coffee table-sized hardcovers of original comics illustrations, scanned at super-high rez, scaled as close as possible to full size, and meticulously printed on premium paper to pick up pencil underlays, blue lines, white-outs, crop marks, marginal editorial notes, and every other nuanced detail.
Collectors’ edition, artist’s edition, studio edition. And now, they can indulge in the next best thing to owning the original art for the first-and most important-of these graphic novels with Frank Miller’s Sin City: The Hard Goodbye Curator’s Collection.Ĭurator’s collection. Many Sin City enthusiasts already own the series in original pamphlet, trade paperback, and/or deluxe slipcased volumes formats.
(My personal fave within Miller’s oeuvre is the 1987 Electra Assassin, exquisitely and imaginatively drawn by Bill Sienkiewicz, but that’s another story.) And as he moved into 1991, Dark Horse granted him the independence to realize his graphically groundbreaking and perversely nasty neo-noir, Sin City. In the 1986 release of The Dark Knight Returns-the first and most revolutionary and accomplished of his famed trilogy-is a major milestone in the history of the medium. Frank Miller is most known as the bold, masterfully skilled and innovative artist on DC and Marvel titles such as Batman and Daredevil, honing his considerable skills within the tight restrictions of these corporate cash-cow characters.
