A simple tale of mob revenge by Dwight with his assassin Miho, who is one of the great characters in this series. Dwight, Marv, others that look and act like them, they all seem to be one character, (though I admit they are one entertaining character in this series!) but Miho is unique and great and undermines for a bit the claims of misogyny that are made against Miller. This is a short volume in the series, but has all you want in noir… though it is not subtle like Chandler, it is Big and Beefy and Gory… but with great noir dialogue and this splashy art. The Yellow Bastard that preceded this was better, artistically, for me, and it was unique in the series for many reasons. Family Values is sort of typical of the series, but good stuff.
