Sin City – The Big Fat Kill (1994)

Sin City – The Big Fat Kill is a five-issue limited series published by Dark Horse Comics in November 1994. The series, written and Illustrated by Frank Miller, is one of three from Sin City related in the film Sin City. In the film, Clive Owen plays Dwight, Brittany Murphy plays Shellie, Benicio del Toro plays Jack, Rosario Dawson plays Gail, Devon Aoki plays Miho, Alexis Bledel plays Becky, and Michael Clarke Duncan plays Manute.

A notable difference from the comic version is that Becky survives the final gunfight by hiding in a nook in the alley, leaving her alive for the final “epilogue” scene of the movie which ends when she meets The Salesman from The Customer is Always Right, who had been introduced in the movie’s prologue. He then offers her a cigarette just like he did in The Customer is Always Right, and Becky seems to sense why he’s there and tells her mother she loves her before hanging up.
