Granted, gender roles are clearly set even if the transgendered one-off is treated rather lightly. They are the stuff of nerdy adolescent male wet dreams, sure, but can hold their own despite Miller's man's man's man's world.

None of the women thus far have proven weak in any sense. Even then, this is an ugly city with Marv being the good guy by virtue of having a sense of chivalry attached to his leathery head. It's no more offensive thus far than most film noirs, barring one rape/violent-sex metaphor which was uncomfortable.

Marv's got a soul to send to hell, and it's going to get nasty. Who was she? And who wanted her dead? The cops are on their way-it smells like a frame job, and this time, they won't let him live. But good things never last-a few hours later, Goldie is dead-murdered by his side without a mark on her body. She says her name is Goldie-a goddess who has blessed this wretched low-life with a night of heaven. But for a single moment, amid the filth and degenerates, the hulking and unstable ex-con Marv has found an angel.

There is no light in a place like Sin City-only misery, crime, perversion.

This tale of Marv and his angel is steeped in murder, mystery, corruption, and vengeance. 30th Anniversary of Frank Miller's Noir Classic! The acclaimed crime noir from comics legend Frank Miller is presented with new cover art and pinup gallery.
