Also That Yellow Bastard is Miller's best yarn and final masterpiece.

Thematically, Sin City is basically the same as Miller's capeshit. The only thing missing is costumes, but the way he draws trenchcoats is effectively the same as capes anyway. It's the same melodrama and power/martyr fantasy.
Something like Blacksad or Torpedo are more proper noir/crime comics.

Hard Goodbye is great and Marv arguably can be a better MC than Hartigan but Yellow Bastard has a fully developed art style, a more moving story and the best visual storytelling of all the Yarns (proto-300 but more free and creative, just better).
Still, the first 4 stories are great, Family Values and some of the one-shots showed clear signs of decay with Hell & Back being Miller's first shit work.

The son of an evil, corrupt Senator, the Yellow Bastard was a pedophile who raped, tortured, and murdered little girls while fully protected by his politician dad. A cop named John Harrigan (played by Bruce Willis in the film adaptation) ended up saving his last victim Nancy and mortally wounded/disfigured the guy, only for his evil pol dad to frame Harrigan for his son's crimes and killing Nancy's parents in a bid to kill the only witness that could clear the cop's name, forcing her to go underground. He then uses new fangled medical tech to save his rapist son's life but he's now hairless and yellow colored and impotent unless he hears his victim's screams.
The bastard manipulates Harrigan to find Nancy to rape/kill her but he gets killed for good by Harrigan. But knowing his dad will stop at nothing to avenge him, Harrigan an heroes himself to ensure that Nancy can go back underground with no chance he would be tortured to give up her location.

It's not about being good or bad, just that Sin city is still basically capeshit. A lot of big two creators doing genre work ends up like this. Sci-fi that still reads like capeshit, fantasy that still reads like capeshit, and so on. It's not an indictment of quality, just the fact of the matter.

>killing Nancy's parents.
The comic-book never mentions that.

I think that has been a thing with Jr. Before falling into the coma, Hartigan recalled that his victims showed no trace of tape or gag in their mouths.
The other side-effect of the rehabilitation was that he smelled like shit.

That Yellow Bastard is great, as is The Hard Goodbye and A Dame To Kill For. But I have a soft spot for Family Valuest too.
I had most of the Sin City stuff in floppies or the original TPs, but I never got the Big Damn Sin City omni. So when the library editions came out a few years ago I got them. Dark Horse is great for this kind of thing.

I mean yeah. Marv's story is a classic as well.
