Publisher’s description

Now with more story pages than ever! More bang for your buck, more pow for your pesos, and more rock-'em, sock-'em action for your rupees! "Violent Marv" has a price on his head and the police on his tail--all because he's blamed for a murder he didn't commit. Frank Miller's Sin City continues its multi-issue run, and Miller provides another stunning cover. Meanwhile, over in Homicide, creator John Arcudi and legendary artist Gray Morrow introduce private detective Oxel Karnhus, affectionately know as "The Creep." Rounding out the issue, cartoonist Nina Paley babysits a friend's cat with disastrous results in "Kute Kitty Kartoon."
