A full version, reduced in size, of Frank Miller's graphic novel Sin City: The Hard Goodbye will be packaged and sold with the SIN CITY RECUT-EXTENDED-UNRATED DVD being released on December 13th by Buena Vista Home Entertainment (suggested retail price $39.99). The included graphic novel will contain the full contents of the original edition.

The Hard Goodbye takes place in Sin City - a land as tough as leather and as dry as timber. Love is the fuel, and the now-infamous character Marv has the match, not to mention a "condition." He's gunning after Goldie's killer and it's time to watch this town burn.

The highly anticipated extended release of the SIN CITY RECUT-EXTENDED-UNRATED DVD will include commentary by the director Robert Rodriguez and comic creator and film co-director Frank Miller, all-new never-before-seen shots as well as special behind the scenes extras. In addition to The Hard Goodbye, an interactive game, Sin-Chroni-City, will also be included in packaging.

About the Sin City film: SIN CITY is Robert Rodriguez's stunning adaptation of Frank Miller's pulpy graphic novels. Both brutal and breathtaking, the movie features three separate but loosely related stories. Based on Miller's extremely popular and gritty books, SIN CITY is arguably the most faithful comic-book-based movie ever made and was one of the most successful movies of the year.

This landmark addition of the full Sin City graphic novel as part of the deluxe dvd further cements the connection between the original comics and the film and will be sure to drive consumers to seek out the additional volumes at their local comic store. There are seven Sin City graphic novel collections available for purchase at your local comic retailer. To find one in your area call 1-888-COMIC-BOOK.
