Description
Sin City: Just Another Saturday Night One-shot Comic
Writer: Frank Miller
Artist: Frank Miller
Editor: Diana Schutz
Front Cover by: Frank Miller
Back Cover by: Frank Miller
Frank Miller’s Sin City first appeared in Dark Horse Presents #51–62 before these stories. Each series is intended to stand alone, published when ready rather than on a strict schedule. Sin City itself is a setting for each story-line, unnamed but seemingly rotten to the core. The characters all converge on Old Town, a no-go area for cops where the law is the law of the fist, the gun or, in some cases, the sword. At the heart of Old Town is a bar where strippers dress as cowboys and money will buy you almost anything. The women of the bar are also the area’s enforcers; if you cross them, you won’t live to regret it. But underlying all of the tales is something like the Japanese code of bushido, where honor means everything, especially if it’s all you’ve got.
Marv’s alcoholic blackouts have made waking up to vestiges of violence, with no recollection of their origin, almost a routine. Additionally, Marv has never been the sharpest knife in the drawer, especially when he forgets to take his medicine, but he makes do, as the denizens of Sin City must. In “Just Another Saturday Night,” Marv stumbles across a gang of spoiled frat boys getting their kicks by setting drunken derelicts on fire. Intent on showing them the error of their ways, Marv answers their savagery with some of his own. Like Miller’s art, justice in Sin City is a matter of extremes.
Story/Spoilers
Marv regains consciousness on a highway overlooking the Projects, surrounded by dead young guys, unable to remember how he got there. He lights one of the dead guys’ cigarettes and thinks back; since it is Saturday, he deduces he must have been at Kadie’s watching Nancy dance…
Marv was rather depressed after seeing Nancy leave with Hartigan, as he’d always had an unrequited crush on her, so the barkeep gives him a bottle to drown his sorrow with. He gets drunk and steps outside, only to find some preppy college kids trying to burn drunks and winos to death. He immediately kills one of them and chases the rest to The Projects, where along the way he destroys a police patrol car and hijacks another vehicle. At the Projects, it is clear that they are being watched, but Marv uses hand signals to identify himself and instruct his former neighbors to attack the kids, and they do so by firing arrows at them and providing Marv with a knife. After questioning the last surviving kid about him being called ‘Bernini boy’, (it was the name of the brand of coat he was wearing,) he slits his throat. This done, he muses, “And one fine coat it is. Somebody must’ve spent a fortune on it. I wonder who?” But he cannot seem to remember where he got the coat or gloves.
