Topic: A Dame to Kill For


  
  A Dame to Kill For - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Dame to Kill For is the second Sin City yarn and the first Sin City story to have its own comic.
It was written and drawn by Frank Miller, the logo was designed by Steve Miller and it was edited by Jerry Prosser.
A Dame to Kill For is a prequel to The Hard Goodbye, as Marv is still alive, but about half-way through after Marv is last seen with Dwight, it is a midquel as some of the events that appear in The Hard Goodbye appear in the background of some parts.

 Frank Miller's Sin City, adapted by David Eber
This was followed by three Sin City miniseries which appeared on their own: the 6-part "A Dame To Kill For" the 5-part "The Big Fat Kill," and the 6-part "That Yellow Bastard." All of these miniseries as well as the original Sin City story have been reprinted as trade paperbacks.
Besides being the hero of A Dame to Kill For, Dwight is also the main character of The Big Fat Kill, Family Values, and the short story The Babe Wore Red.
If Miho can be said to have a weakness, it's that she will sometimes toy with a victim before finishing them, and when she does, it is often with a ghoulish and sadistic sense of humor (such as slicing through a victim's throat, then punting their head off their shoulders like a football).

Dame To Kill For is Dwight's story, so while Marv gets to show up and inflict some much-deserved violence, his overall impact on the plot is fairly low.
A Dame to Kill For isn't included in the Sin City film, which is somewhat puzzling; unlike Big Fat Kill, it shares overlaps with both Hard Goodbye and Yellow Bastard.
A Dame To Kill For was my baptism into Sin City and it'll always hold a special place in my heart.

 Book Review: Dame to Kill For, A (Book 2)
The second graphic novel of the Sin City series, A Dame to Kill For returns to the seedy underworld of Sin City to tell a story set in parallel with The Hard Goodbye.
Dame is a sexy thriller about a seductive temptress who plays men's desires to get what she wants.
Ava's agenda is more than a social call to reminisce, and before long, she's pleading with Dwight to save her from her horrible new husband, who is plotting to kill her.

 Graphic novel review - Sin City: A Dame to Kill For - Miller
This classic noir story has more twists, turns, hard men (of dubious repute) and dames than you could possibly wish for.
The second book in the Sin City series sees main character Dwight, a photo-journalist of huge potential, forced to scrape together a living by setting up rich businessmen with prostitutes then selling the pictures he takes of them to their wives as evidence of adultery.
With Miller controlling everything about this book, from script to artwork to the way the two interact, something is achieved that can't happen in any other medium.

Readers of A DAME TO KILL FOR will recall that you get to see a LOT of Ava baring her skin, which I suppose will cause a similar virgin stampede the likes of which we saw for Jessica Alba in the first movie.
I kind of hope Rodriguez and Miller do something similar here with Ava (whoever it may be, but patricularly with a "goddess" like Angelina Jolie) that they did with Nancy Callahan, just to screw with sad-horndog fanboys like this guy.
