She isnt a nazi I dont think
But after doing research on the movie since I made that review, I have realized that there really were no writers. This was all Frank Miller. This was his baby... Rodriguez just carried it for a little bit thats all. Dont be discouraged by that statement. [/b][/quote]She is not a nazi... It is a common misconception. She is an oriental samurai, whom throws a throwing star-esqe weapons at victims, in the shape of some ancient oriental character... I forget the proper term for the symbol, but, it is basically a backwards swastika.
Skip ahead; it's the 1930s, and the Nazi's steal the symbol, flip it around, and use it as their own.
Anywho, Miho (The skanky ninja!), is far from a supremicist...

Oh, and for those asking about the comics, there are quite a few issues that will revolve around a single character and their story. However, many of the original issues are out of print. Luckily, you may purchase TPB's, which will put each book into one big book for a single story (So, opposed to buying all 9 books from the story, "The Yellow Bastard", you may purchase "The Yellow Bastard" TPB, which includes all 9 books puplished into one book, which will start with hartigan saving an 11 year old Nancy, and end with the very last scene of the film -- don't want to give any spoilers away.)
There are 7 TPB's in total, and they can all be purchased on amazon.com. The seven TPB's are as follows, in chronolgical order:
-
The Hard Goodbye (Book 1 - Marv\'s Story) -
A Dame to Kill For (Book 2) -
The Big Fat Kill (Book 3 - Dwight\'s Story) -
That Yellow Bastard (Book 4 - Hartigan\'s Story) -
Family Values (Book 5) -
Booze, Broads, & Bullets (Book 6) -
Hell and Back (Book 7) The Whole Series
