To those who know the comics/graphic novels, which one is a good one to start with?

"Sin City" is the original, followed by "That Yellow Bastard"

Ah, that helps. I couldn't find one with just "Sin City" in the name (except one for 75 quid...)

The nice thing about sin city is it is all as set of interconnected stories. A Dame to Kill for is the First Dwight story and should eb read before the Big Fat Kill

All of them.

But obviously in order ;)

Duh, that's the point of my question as I don't know the order...

In reality, each story stands out on it's own. It really doesn't matter which order you read them in unless you like to read them in the same order that they were written.

Identity Crisis-Put out by DC last year, but damn was it a good story. I forget who was involved with that.

*twitch* I'd have to disagree. Good story, yes, lovely art. But seemed to be written by someone who just wanted to trample large chunks of DC's history underfoot.

Didn't work for me, but possibly just because I spent too much time reading JLE and Suicide Squad back in ye olde days.

(I'd kind of disagree with No Man's Land, too - some lovely moments but a bit patchy. Again, possibly just me though...)

And I'll add the original Dark Knight Returns (Batman, Frank Miller, heaps of style) and The Killing Joke (still the best Joker story I've read, and gorgeous art) to the Bat-list.
