Trivia Writes, draws, and inks all of his Sin City comics. Has worked for both Marvel Comics and DC Comics. His comic book series Sin City is on the Dark Horse Comics label. Has claimed in several interviews that he got the inspiration for the "noir and gritty experience" of all his comics (especially Sin City) from noir writers Mickey Spillane, Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett.
