Description

Old flames die hard in this volume of the acclaimed crime noir. Presented at original size with new wrap-around cover art, this is a sordid tale of love, betrayal, and deadly temptation. Stuck with nothing but a seedy gumshoe job, a tattered string of failed romances, and his demons, Dwight's thinking of all the ways he's screwed up. And what he'd give for one clear chance to wipe the slate clean, to dig his way out of the numb gray hell that is his life. He'd give anything to cut loose, to just feel the fire, one more time. But he can't let himself lose control again, can't ever let the monster out . . . And then Ava calls. The fourth editions of Frank Miller's hit graphic novel series continue with Volume 2 A Dame to Kill For. Devoted fans and new readers can again experience the groundbreaking and unparalleled noir masterpiece that has engrossed readers for three decades! FOR MATURE READERS.

Frank Miller began his career in comics in the late 1970s, first drawing then writing Daredevil for Marvel Comics, creating what was essentially a crime comic disguised as a superhero book. It was on Daredevil that Miller gained notoriety, honed his storytelling abilities, and took his first steps toward becoming a giant in the comics medium. After Daredevil came Ronin, a science-fiction samurai drama that seamlessly melded Japanese and French comics traditions into the American mainstream; and after that, the groundbreaking and acclaimed Batman- The Dark Knight Returns and Batman- Year One, both of which not only redefined the classic character, but also revitalized the industry itself. Finally able to fulfill his dream of doing an all-out, straight-ahead crime series, Miller introduced Sin City in 1991. Readers responded enthusiastically to Miller's tough-as-leather noir drama, creating an instant sales success. His multi-award-winning 300 series from Dark Horse, a telling of history's most glorious and underreported battle, was brought to full-blooded life in 1998. In 2001, Miller returned to the superhero genre with the bestselling Batman- The Dark Knight Strikes Again. Frank Miller continues to push the medium into new territories, exploring subject matter previously untouched in comics, and his work consistently receives the highest praise from his industry peers and readers everywhere. In 2005, with the hugely successful Sin City movie release, codirected with Robert Rodriguez, Miller added a director's credit to his already impressive resume and introduced his characters to an entirely new legion of fans worldwide.
