Out of all 7 books, this was probably my favorite. I'm glad that I saw the movie before reading these because I would've been so disappointed not to see this one (and Family Values, which is my 2nd favorite). The story is titled Hell and Back, but its subtitle is "A Love Story." And it is just that....
There are elements of misogyny in all of Frank Miller's work, but in Hell and Back it starts to get close to Cerebus levels. The hallucination sequence is almost like late period Robert Heinlein revisiting his greatest hits like a snake swallowing it's tail.
