Frank Miller – Comics Retailer #64 “Sin City” Cover Original Art
Year: 1997

Published: Comics Retailer #64, 1997

Original published Sin City cover artwork by Frank Miller, created for Comics Retailer #64, published by Krause Publications in 1997. The composition features two of Miller’s most recognisable Sin City characters, Marv and Nancy Callahan, rendered in his distinctive high-contrast black-and-white style.
The cover carries the theme “San Diego or Bust”, a direct reference to the annual San Diego Comic-Con, with Miller placing Marv and Nancy in a playful convention-bound composition. The artwork combines large areas of solid black, energetic brushwork and sharply defined negative space, all hallmarks of Miller’s mature Sin City visual language.
The image was also published in The Comics Journal Library: Frank Miller on page 101.
Artist: Frank Miller
