The Collected+ReCovered Sin City (DH|Dgtl-1280|Empire) ®1.1

Sin City @ Wikipedia


Compiled principally from the contents of Empire's Digital Lo-Res 7-volume release from back in late 2012, the recent Minutemen versions (see link above) being lower-res still. The "ReCovered" in the title refers to two slight (and somewhat subjective) improvements in presentation: Firstly, while the new cover artwork for the digital edition is gorgeous, it's not very well suited to its purpose; these volumes are bookended with the full-colour covers used in the print editions (or equivalent) instead. Secondly, about a dozen double-page spreads, each split into two regular pages in the original releases, were re-joined, thereby greatly enhancing their visual effectiveness, IMO.


Notes:

- Ack, typo noticed just-not-in-time - one of the volume titles misspells "Family" as "Familiy". My bad.

- The cover image above is an example of the "double-page spreads" mentioned later on. It's meant to sit in the bottom-right corner of a vast expanse of black backdrop, which elevates its effect from "meh" to "wow". In the original release, the spread is cut into two pages, which takes away half the impact it's meant to have. Whoever was responsible for that, editor or ripper, must have aesthetic sensibilities very different from mine at best, or be a total ignoramus at worst. :P

- If you download this, there's no need to download the artbook referred to above as well. 90% of its contents are simply full pages lifted straight from the interiors of the story books themselves, without commentary or any other worthwhile additions, and the other 10% are included here in one way or another.
