2016 Comic Challenge 101 Sin City The Babe wore Red

TITLE-Sin City The Babe Wore Red
PUBLISHER-Dark Horse Comics

Published in fall of 1994,this one shot collected 3  of the Sin City shorts that had appeared in odd places. And as always with Sin City Frank Miller is the writer and artist.

"And Behind Door Number Three..." is the first story. Someone has been killing the hookers in Old Town. The story is only 4 pages long. One of the hookers,I think it is Goldie,has a john at her place. She realizes there is something wrong with him. So yells for Gail to come help her. Seems he is the guy that has been killing the hookers. So Gail and Goldie tie him up then the story ends as Miho enters the room. And if you have seen the films or read the comics you know that Miho will make sure this slimeball gets what is coming to him.

"The Customer is always Right" is the second story in this collection.It is also the first Sin City story to be filmed. We get three pages.Our nameless hitman has been hired to kill a woman that crossed the wrong people. He meets her out on a balcony. During a rainstorm. He kills her. And we find out she hired him herself. Cause he would give her a more peaceful death than whoever it is she crossed.

"The Babe wore Red" is the final story. And the longest in the collection. It also is the first time in a Sin City comic that we got a color that isn't black or white. It is the red that the titular babe wore.Dwight gets a call late at night. And when he arrives the guy who called him is dead. But he meets a woman there. A gorgeous woman. Who just wants to settle somethings before she can move on with her life. With help from Dwight her issues are solved. And at the end we find out the titular woman is actually a nun.

While this isn't the best issue of Sin City,the first story is way too short.It is worth checking out. I am sure it is reprinted in one of the many trades/hardcovers Dark Horse has put out since the first film was such a big hit.

Sin City The babe wore red gets a BUY!
