The movie version of Sin City tells three different stories based on the original Sin City miniseries and two others, The Big Fat Kill and That Yellow Bastard. These are three of the best stories in the series and it's a sensible selection, since each features a different male lead.
There's the original bad ass, Marv(Mickey Rourke), who falls hard for a lady named Goldie (Jaime King), only to get dragged through the worst parts of Basin City before coming face-to-face with a chillingly evil serial killer. The Big Fat Kill focuses on Dwight (Clive Owen), who gets mixed up with the wrong girl and finds himself aiding a group of gun-toting hookers. Lastly, That Yellow Bastard follows the adventures of Hartigan (Bruce Willis) who agrees to help a young girl (note the theme) and ends up tangling with, quite literally, a yellow bastard.
With the film only a few weeks from release, we thought it was high time to compare the movie to the comic book. While deeper analysis of the two will come the week of release, we have a dozen images for comparison. In some instances, the stills and panels look almost identical. If eyeing some stills isn't doing it for you, you can always watch the trailer instead.
