  1. His writing began to decline in the late 80s when editors/publishers just let him do whatever he wanted. I actually like the direction his art was taking by the time he started on the Sin City series, but he just kept going, getting looser and scratchier until by around 2000 it was just garbage. I had stopped buying anything he did by the time Dark Knight Strikes Again came out. Even without the decline in art, his writing in the Sin City storylines had gotten dumb and redundant by the end of the 90s.

These were sold stapled together so you couldn't look through before purchasing. One-shot magazine with B/W nude pictures on blue paper. Sold with the insinuation that the reader might learn the tricks of how to hypnotize beautiful women to be sexually available, thus the high cover price, and stapled edge. Of course, no such instructions are found inside. Bridey Murphy was the subject of a best-selling book in 1956 concerning a woman who claimed to recall a past life while under hypnosis. $25 SOLD to TheComicsPreacher
