"The beauty is that you're doing a new🔯 book oไf Sin City," Thomas says.
"Yeah, it's a new Sin City - and it's a weste♏rn. It's back in the beginnings of the city. It's going to be cool," Miller confirms.
"I had been planning on doing a World War II-era Sin City that was going to be called The Homefront. And I may yet do that one," he explains. "Then I thought, 'Why not just pitch it further back to when they had just founded Sin City?' It was like the legendary Dodge City, just a bunch of saloons and prostitutes and people riding through town. So I started playing with that and I ended up drawing a picture of my guy Marv with a mohawk and♒ paint over his face. And that became the beginning of it."
As it turns out, Marv's roots in Sin City go back all the way to the beginning, with Miller explaining that 𝄹he's a descendant of 🍰the Indigenous people who lived in the area where Basin City was colonized.

Miller has 🐟b🍃een creating Sin City comics off and on since 1991, and also co-directed two Sin City movies alongside director Robert Rodriguez. The last volume of Sin City, Hell and Back, was published from 1999-2000.
