(Note: The timing on the release of Darwyn Cooke’s The Outfit was not good for me. Due to life, I did not have as much time as I needed to do a proper reading and write-up, but I wanted to get a review out before The Outfit hit the street. So I cranked out […]

When Darwyn Cooke’s adaptation of The Hunter was released, the Comics Reporter landed the must-read interview with Darwyn Cooke on the subject. For The Outfit, that honor falls to Comics Alliance and this terrific interview by Tucker Coe Stone.

The sheer brutality of The Hunter was unsustainable for a series, and Richard Stark didn’t attempt it.

I just found this page, for example, which linked to the image above and the image below. The first […] Thanks to reader Patrick, who, like me, wonders what the hell is going on in the cover photo.
