Sin City is the title for a series of stories by Frank
Miller, told in comic book form in a film noir-like style.
The first story originally appeared in Dark Horse Presents
from April of 1991 to June of 1992, under the title of
Sin City, serialized in thirteen parts. Several other
stories of variable lengths have followed. All stories
take place in Basin City, with frequent recurring characters
and intertwining stories. A movie adaptation of Sin City,
co-directed by Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller with
"special guest director" Quentin Tarantino,
was released on April 1, 2005. The Sin City graphic novels
were reprinted with new covers and in a reduced size to
coincide with the motion picture's theatrical release.
Rodriguez has expressed a desire to begin filming two
sequels back-to-back starting February 2006 for release
sometime in 2007.
