It can't be a prequel, as Jessica Alba's actions in A Dame to Kill for is caused by the events in the first Sin City movie. She isn't scarred in the first one, when Marv watches her dance, but scarred in the second one, with Marv helping her. Confused me a bit as well, since I also thought he died in the first one - eventually.
Then there is Dwight story, which had to take place before the one of the first movie because MCD's(RIP) character is one eyed in the first Sin City movie while in the second one he has both eyes and then loses one in the fight with Marv. Also, Goldie is alive. So some stories are sequels while the others are prequels. This might be what Marv was referring to help Nancy in the first movie
