What I found so striking about Sin City was not only its film noir and style, but its narrative. That being said, when the producers decided to turn the comics into a film, the story board was half way done, and as that is essentially what a comic book is. A comic book has to be selective, and is almost a story board of a narrative, hence each section of each strip is significant. Comic books are unlike films, where all the action can be presented frame by frame. The final product is a magazine filled with strips of action, segmented into smaller frames marking significant moments in the narrative. The words that make the story are accompanied by pictures which present the action taking place. American writer, artist and film director, Frank Miller, is most famously known for his work for Dark Horse comics where he wrote the graphic novels/comic books in the Sin City collection which famously have a dark, sinister feel.Ī comic book is something that is very similar to reading a picture book.
