Frank Miller's longest (and last) book in the Sin City series adds one of the series' first real heroes. Wallace is an artist with a troubled soul and a talent for hurting people.
One night he meets the woman of his dreams, and saves her from committing suicide. Soon he's mixed up in a wide-spread kidnapping conspiracy, and to save Esther, Wallace will go to hell and back.
A trippy hallucination scene is worth the price of admission, and there's plenty of Sin City-style violence and mayhem, but I didn't feel for Wallace and Esther the way I did for Marv and Goldie or Nancy and Hartigan. So I'd rank this volume below those stories.
Maybe there's only so many times the tough guy can rescue the damsel in distress.
