   Books Read in 2014 (1,261) No current Talk conversations about this book.  Articul8Madness | Nov 6, 2023 |   John Hartigan is a cop less than a day away from retirement. In the last hour of being on the job, he completes the bust of a lifetime. The man he's seeking the expose? Senator Roark's son. The crime? It turns out Junior has been raping and murdering children, and is about to do the deed once more. Nancy Callahan is only eleven. Hartigan does what he feels is right, and nearly kills Junior. But Senator Roark is a difficult man to beat, and very protective of his son. Hartigan is framed, but he doesn't intend to go down easy... This volume is a tale of revenge and justice. It gives the visceral pleasure of all that is done to Junior to start off this tale, and the odd pride in how Hartigan stands up or keeps silent, in how he conducts himself throughout. It's a good noir novel from start to finish, complete with the tragic ending. (  ) Lepophagus | Jun 14, 2018 | Hartigan is just an awesome character! And Miller gives him one hell of a story to get through! Great read! "An old man dies, a little girl lives. Fair trade."

Frank Miller changes the game in the fourth volume of his signature crime series, introducing the only truly heroic figure in Sin City's world of vice, Detective Hartigan. A highlight of the series, and the inspiration for one of the segments of the blockbuster Sin City film, That Yellow Bastard returns in a newly redesigned edition, with a brand-new cover by Miller - some of his first comics art in years! The worst thing to be in Basin City is an honest cop, but it's Hartigan's last day on the job, and he plans to go out with a bang. Little Nancy Callahan, age eleven, has been kidnapped by a psycho who likes to hear children scream, and Hartigan's going to find her no matter what it takes. No matter who the psycho's daddy is. All the prison time in the world won't change that. Hell of a way to start retirement... No library descriptions found. |

A prequel of sorts, Hartigan is about to retire from the police force. He's hot on the tail of Roark Jr, who is the son of Senator Roark, one of the most corrupt politicians in this universe. Jr. loves raping and killing underage girls, and Hartigan's trying to find a missing kid, Nancy, that Jr. has set his sights on as his next victim. He gets his justice on him removing a few parts and things, but is shot in the process by Roark's goons before he can kill him. That spirals into the Senator making Hartigan's life a living hell and 20 years of revenge set into motion with an explosive ending for Hartigan, who is a old man by the conclusion.
Great story, crappy artwork. (
