Richard Stark's Parker: The Man With the Getaway Face
IDW Comics
Cooke
Darwyn Cooke continues his adaptation of Richard Stark's catalogue of books about the character called Parker with The Man With the Getaway Face. Unlike the first adaptation, The Hunter, this book is more of a traditional comic book rather than a full graphic novel length. Despite being only twenty four pages, this story is a complete one and delivers the same level of violence in a criminal setting, just in an accelerated and concise fashion. It's an excellent read because it captures everything about the character Parker from the Hunter while telling a compelling and interesting story. At two bucks this is a can't miss opportunity to jump on board of this amazing character study that Cooke is taking the reader on.
Media Release -- San Diego, CA (July 31, 2009) – In its first week of release, IDW is proud to announce that Darwyn Cooke's The Hunter, an adaptation of Richard Stark's novel, debuted on The New York Times best seller list at number three. The Hunter has earned high praise for Cooke's compelling interpretation of Parker, and has been critically lauded nationwide by The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post and Entertainment Weekly.
