The girls of Old Town are cashing in old debts in this tale from the signature series, returning in an oversized and slipcased hardcover that includes a portfolio, exclusive print, and a new 2022 pinup gallery.

Dwight McCarthy owes Gail and the girls of Old Town more than he can ever pay back, and they're putting him to the test. Two warring mobs—too dumb to know better and too vile even if they did—have spilled innocent blood that violates the girls' own laws. Now it's Dwight's job to help set things right. With deadly Miho at his side, Dwight is ready to teach a lesson to the mob about real family values.

Frank Miller's Sin City Volume 5: Family Values marks Frank Miller's return to his comic opus graphic novel series, now presented in a luxury edition. High-end materials, finishes, and iconic textures from the series embellish this package, evoking the world of Sin City. Housed in a cloth-covered slipcase with foil stamping and printing, this oversized hardcover features a soft-touch matte finish with spot gloss and foil stamping. The slipcase includes a matching portfolio containing a deluxe print of new artwork by Frank Miller.

This edition includes a seven-page pinup gallery created for the 2022 publications of Volume 5, featuring art from J elle Jones, Tanino Liberatore, Tula Lotay, Milo Manara, Bill Sienkiewicz, and Jock. Also featured in the collection is a six-page gallery with covers and pinup art from previous editions of Volume 5.

As an added bonus, each volume's slipcase features a different letter from the logo, placed on the front cover in such a way that it appears as a splash of red wrapping around the slipcase. However, when all seven volumes are together, it becomes clear that the grouping spells out "Sin City."

Discerning fans and new readers can experience this unparalleled noir masterpiece in this, the most luxurious edition to date!

About the Author

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 best-selling 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, co-directed 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.
