He also began a short stint in Hollywood as a screenwriter around the same time. After that failed, Miller began work on his famous noir crime series "Sin City" in 1993 (Lambiek par 6). Now working under his own comic book label, Legend, Miller had a new level of freedom that gave him the opportunity to finally do what he loved. Sin City, produced in black and white, featured extremely high contrast and stark backgrounds to tell its story. Influenced by Expressionist cinema and other artists like Will Eisner, who introduced Expressionism to comics, Miller tried to create more of a psychological presence in this and other works (George 23). Feeling that one of his prison scenes looked too much like a school, he threw out the entire file and changed everything. “The floors were bars, the walls were bars, and the ceilings – everything – to reinforce the feeling of imprisonment” (George 23). Figure 2, a Sin City prison scene, shows exactly how Miller created an abstract prison cell that is far more meaningful than a realistic cell.
