Known Printings of The Man With the Getaway Face

Parker–

• Parker’s vocation is taking things that belong to others, things like large payrolls from armored trucks.  His coups are ingenious and brilliant, but the trouble is that there is not always honor among thieves.  They tend to be greedy, treacherous and given to the double cross.

• Now it isn’t so much that Parker is vicious or even vindictive by nature.  It’s just that he has a pretty elemental philosophy about people–individually or in groups–who get in his way or covet that which is unrightfully his.

• Once several of them tried; they thought he was dead.  Then suddenly there he was–tall, crag-like, mean.  This time he turned up with an $18,000 face that no one recognized, until too late.

• Parker always seems to make a habit of doing the entertainingly unexpected.  Keep an eye out for him the next time he comes your way!
