A fun little collection of Sin City stories that appeared in various comics, we get the return of Marv, a comedy piece about Klump and Schlubb, Miho, some standalones (Rats is downright creepy, and Daddy's Little Girl is twisted in a Sin City way) -- there's even a new reoccurring character, Blue Eyes, an abused wife turned assassin for hire.
What's more interesting than some of the stories, though, is Miller's artwork and use of color. Figures walking in snow, the way fabric or leather drapes a female form -- Miller does some of his best artwork in these shorter stories. And, as he used yellow to great effect in That Yellow Bastard, so does he here with pink in Daddy's Little Girl, red in The Babe Wore Red and blue when dealing with Blue Eyes. The splash page of Blue Eyes in a blue dress may be one of his best works to date.
I'm glad to see that Sin City quickly got back on track after Family Values.
