I’m very excited about this. IDW Publishing has just announced Richard Stark’s Parker: The Martini Edition: Last Call. For those of you not familiar with the first Martini Edition, it was released in 2011 and was a massive, and I mean massive slipcased volume containing the first two of Darwyn Cooke’s already-classic comic book […] I’ve been away for awhile for a variety of reasons–haven’t looked at the comments, haven’t checked the site’s e-mail account, haven’t looked at the Twitter feed. I knew I’d come back, but I hate having to come back for this. A lot of people asked me why there had been no volume two in […] The interviewer is kinda corny, but Darwyn is his usual charming self and you get to see footage of him brush-painting the ComicCon exclusive edition of The Score. It’s less than five minutes if you’re sneaking this in at the office. Some hiatus, huh?

The sheer brutality of The Hunter was unsustainable for a series, and Richard Stark didn’t attempt it. Rather, he took the character and universe of The Hunter and used them for more complex tales of amorality. This isn’t to say that there […] I believe this is also the debut of the cover art for The Outfit. Fellow Parker fan James picked this up for me at WonderCon a few days ago. Pretty great! The Violent World of Parker gets a hat tip in the introduction! Thanks, Darwyn! The Man With the Getaway Face will be available at comic shops in July. I’ll have the back cover for you later this […] |
