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.

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.
