It's been ages since I read this and I'd forgotten just how good it was. The entire book is Marv's quest to avenge Goldie. It's beautifully noir in both text and imagery and Marv is exquisitely realised. His mix of barbarism and deep understanding of his own nature is a joy to behold.With Miller the art is always going to be something special but here it's utterly wondrous. The scene in the rain after Marv's escaped from Kevin the Cannibal and the cops is beautiful. I just don't even understand how you would go about drawing something like that. Marv's face in the panel on page 134 is defined by the rain as opposed to it raining on him.
I've read a few of these Sin City collections but obviously not enough. Hopefully the library will get some more in.
