But in Sin City in particular I wanted them all to happen to in a world where virtuous behavior was rare, which greatly resembled the world I lived in. I loved just how the morals of the stories are. I've been a fanatic for a long time for old crime movies and old crime novels. In a 2016 interview with the Kubert School, Miller explained his inspiration for Sin City thus:

The story was released in a trade paperback, and later re-released in 1995 under the name Sin City: The Hard Goodbye. Miller's venture into the film noir genre would deepen with his creator-owned series Sin City, which began publishing in serialized form in the Dark Horse Comics anthology series Dark Horse Presents #51–62. Writer-artist Frank Miller rose to fame within the American comics industry with his 1981–1983 work on Marvel Comics' Daredevil, and the 1986 DC Comics miniseries The Dark Knight Returns, both of which exhibited subtle elements of film noir. A sequel, Sin City: A Dame To Kill For, was released on August 22, 2014. The intertwining stories, with frequently recurring characters, take place in Basin City.Ī film adaptation of Sin City, co-directed by Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller, was released on April 1, 2005. Several other stories of variable lengths have followed. The first story originally appeared in Dark Horse Presents Fifth Anniversary Special (April 1991), and continued in Dark Horse Presents #51–62 from May 1991 to June 1992, under the title of Sin City, serialized in thirteen parts. Sin City is a series of neo-noir comics by American comic book writer-artist Frank Miller. Original material for the series has been published as a strip in the comics anthology(s) Dark Horse Presents and a set of limited series, graphic novels, and one-shot comics.
