Editorial Comments

Product Description:
The most diverse volume of Sin City material available, Booze, Broads, & Bullets, showcases Frank Miller's vignettes and color experiments from throughout the years of his groundbreaking crime series, and includes art created especially for the original collection. A good entry point for new readers wondering what Sin City is all about - or longtime readers who can't get enough - Miller has painted a gritty, decadent, and gloriously dirty portrait. Have a taste of the city ... just one little taste. Just one.


Customer Reviews
Average Rating:4.50 out of 5.00 stars

4 out of 5 starsGraphic SF Reader
The sixth Sin City volume is a series of short stories, if you can call comics that. You get pieces that star Marv, for example, and one of those even has no talking.

Miller uses color a little more here, to emphasis who is who. For example, in the tales of an assassin, she appears in a different color to the rest of the book. A similar technique is used for 'The Babe Wore Red'.



4 out of 5 starsWelcome to Sin City
Unlike the start of Miller's masterwork, volume 6 is more a series of vignettes, but it's just as powerful as anything else. We see some familiar characters like Marv and the ever present Nancy and some new ones are thrown in for good measure. As always, there are previous (and likely future) stories entwined throughout for careful readers of the full series.



5 out of 5 starsAn awesome combination of Sin City stories.
Frank Miller's Sin City is still dead-on as the the most violent, dark and most noir comic of our time. Book 6 of 7, Booze, Broads, & Bullets is a combination of stories about the people of Basin City. These tales are funny, perverted and emotional, "Silent Night", "The Customer is Always Right", "The Babe Wore Red" "And Behind Door Number Three... are my favorite of the bunch. I hope you enjoy this book!



4 out of 5 stars"It turns out I'm good at killing. And I like it. I like it a lot."
BOOZE, BROADS, & BULLETS gets the Sin City series back on track after the unfortunate swing and miss of Vol. 5, FAMILY VALUES. A collection of short stories, it intermixes familiar faces while introducing some new ones. Marv, the old favorite from THE HARD GOODBYE, is in a couple of stories and we see his two-fisted philosophy of protecting the unprotected in action. Dwight from THE BIG FAT KILL also helps out a damsel-in-distress de jour. While Miho and the girls of Old Town dispense their own rough justice to the deserving saps who ask for it.

As for the new faces, the most interesting is the female killer Delia, the subject of three stories here. She provides the quote which constitutes the title of this review and she means what she says. Delia does enjoy killing and she is awfully good at it. Delia represents exactly what I like about the Sin City books - female characters that can be not only the source of solace and comfort to men, but the exact opposite as well. Besides Delia, we also meet Amy, aka Daddy's Little Girl. Amy may not kill people directly like Delia, but she sure is a catalyst for their deaths. Although these characters might be new, the hard stories and noir edge are exactly what we have come to expect from the residents of Basin City.

All in all, BOOZE, BROADS, & BULLETS is a solid addition to the Sin City catalogue. Everyone will have their favorite stories in this volume and everyone will see some of the stories as not quite as good. But looked at as a whole, if you have made it this far into the series, you probably will not be disappointed with this book.



4 out of 5 starsSolid collection of small Sin City yarns
Booze, Broads, & Bullets collects eleven Sin City short stories from Frank Miller all in one handy graphic novel, and for the most part, they are all typically great Sin City yarns. Familiar faces are abound in this collection, from Marv (who stars in "Just Another Saturday Night" and the fittingly titled "Silent Night") to Dwight (the excellent closing story "The Babe Wore Red") along with the girls of Old Town ("And Behind Door Number Three") and even small time crooks Klump and Shlubb ("Fat Man and Little Boy"). Also of note here is "The Customer is Always Right", which served as the prologue of the Sin City movie directed by Miller and Robert Rodriguez as well. While a few of the stories are instantly forgettable ("Rats" for one), the good definitely outweighs the bad here as Miller spins some fun and gritty yarns while even experimenting a bit with his tried but true art style. "The Babe Wore Red" is worth the price of admission alone, and is another reason why Dwight McCarthy is one of the best characters Miller has ever created. All in all, Booze, Broads, & Bullets is a more than solid collection of Sin City yarns, and is definitely worth picking up.
