Gary: I've just got SIN CITY and A DAME TO KILL FOR, but I'd like to
have them all (I don't they are all out in the single book form yet,
which is what I'm waiting for). I think someone who took these pulpy
takeoffs too seriously might not like them, but if you just have fun
with them, they are a hoot. Otherwise, there is a stream of references
to Catholicism running through SIN CITY (probably others with Marv in
it, eh?), so this could put off someone. I mean, Marv, who is apparently
devout, murders a priest (an evil one, to be sure, but a priest). I
really wouldn't be surprised if Marv returns like that old movie about
the criminal who is electrocuted but didn't die? Remember, anyone? If
anyone could, it would be Marv.
