Frank Miller, the comic writer and artist was best known for his work in the 1980s on Daredevil and Batman, but it wasn't until he moved to Dark Horse Comics with his noir tale of Sin City, that his career's work would be realized.

Spread out over 7 collected books, Sin City is black and white (and some color every now and then), talk of the underbelly of the darkest, dirtiest city, where the criminals are just trying to make a living, the cops are corrupt, the hookers rule the streets and there may just be only a few decent guys around.

The books of Sin City are:
The Hard Goodbye

A Dame to Kill For

The Big Fat Kill

That Yellow Bastard

Family Values

Booze, Broads and Bullets

Hell and Back

In 2005, the film adaptation of Sin City was released, directed by Robert Rodriguez and starring Bruce Willis, Clive Owen, Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson and many others as the film was the translation of the comic book, looking very much like the pages of the art that Miller conceived. This process led to the next movie adaptation of Frank Miller's work, 300
