Sin City

Does anyone here know Sin City very well?

I bought a collection off a guy 4 or 5 months ago, and in it was a Sin City TPB - but there is no title anywhere on the dang book. All the cover is is a lady smoking a cigarette with "Sin City" in red on her right arm - there is no other writing.

I have looked at almost every auction on eBay and I can't find that cover, I have even checked Dark Horse's Web site and can't find it. I can't sell it if I don't know what to call it.

I'm partial to Sim City myself..2000 is my favorite

They have pets now!

It's fun to make them all frustrated and go shoot their neighbors.

I like playing "The Sims" building their house and then trapping them in a corner by pausing the game and building interior walls around them

Look on the inside front cover on the inside flap and it should say what the full title is.

Wasn't the first trade paperback just called 'Sin City', collected from the Dark Horse series. All the ones after that had titles. I think so anyway. I have them all at home, where I'm currently not.

Sounds like you bought one of the later printings of the first Sin City trade paperback.

 

If the storyline concerns strip club bouncer Marv and how he is searching for the killers of his beloved Goldie, and if it ends with Marv in the electric chair then you have definitely purchased the first trade paperback.

 

If that's not the storyline, let us know and someone can help you out further.

 

Bibliography page should tell you which printing your copy is.

I thought the first TPB just had Marv on the cover.

 

I'm thinking the series A Dame To Kill For, but I could be wrong.

Dark Horse often puts new covers on later printings of their tradepaperbacks, especially the Miller and Mignola ones.

 

I think the first TPB has had at least 5 different covers since it was first printed in 1993.

Probably right, but the one I mentioned I could swear had a similar cover.
