Post #7: Blank and dark full-pages in Sin City

Chapter 3: Layout aspects, p. 54


As it happens with other works by Frank Miller, there is a profuse use of full-page compositions in Sin City that can either comply with the space of the white page margin or not. The difference from other works that use this same page layout is that, in the hard-boiled series, characters generally appear in completely blank or dark pages, because of the high black and white contrast style.

Blank and dark full-pages. (“The Hard Good-Bye”, 34 and “That Yellow Bastard”, 57).
