Can be found in the collection Booze, Broads & Bullets, published in 2000. "The Customer Is Always Right", the first-ever Sin City short-story, originally published in the issue The Babe Wore Red And Other Stories, in 1994.That Yellow Bastard, the fourth series, originally published from February 1996 to July 1996 in six issues, later collected into graphic novel format in 1997 ("Hartigan's story" in the movie).The Big Fat Kill, the third Sin City series, originally published from November 1994 to March 1995 in five issues, later collected into graphic novel format in 1995, as the third book.This is, in the movie, essentially "Marv's story". The original Sin City was collected into graphic novel format in 1993 (Sin City book 1) and was later re-titled The Hard Goodbye at the time of the movie's release. It's all Marv's fault, he started bossing me around." The first story ended up being about 200 pages, total, and Sin City got its own magazine, in which the later stories were released. Instead, as Miller himself said, "It got outta hand. Miller intended Sin City to be a mere 48-page story. The latter part is right after "The Big Fat Kill", as Becky has clearly been to the hospital to treat the gunshot wound she received in the end of "The Big Fat Kill". The first part is, according to Rodriguez, a few months before the events of "The Hard Goodbye". In the Extended & Recut version a second part is added, which shows the Colonel/the Man with Becky in the elevator. "The Customer Is Always Right", the original comic, is only the opening scene of the movie with the Colonel and the Customer. Logic suggests that it's months after Marv killed the Cardinal (remember, he was in prison for 18 months). "The Big Fat Kill" is next: there's a reference to the events of "The Hard Goodbye" by Gail: "Miho's been aching for some exercise, and things have been so quiet after (the events of "The Hard Goodbye"), and before that, Shelly says to Dwight ".before you came back with your new face," which is a reference to "A Dame To Kill For". So this places "The Hard Goodbye" about 4 years after Hartigan's suicide. The second is "The Hard Goodbye", which, again based on the books, takes place during "A Dame To Kill For" (some of the scenes overlap). This is known because in the book we see Dwight at Kadie's bar, when Hartigan enters Dwight and Ava have just broken up, while in "A Dame To Kill For" (to be included in the second movie), Dwight states that he hasn't seen Ava for 4 years. The story that takes place first is "That Yellow Bastard". The stories featured in the movie were filmed out of order from the stories as written.
