Parker

Darwyn Cooke's stark, stylish adaptation of Richard Stark's Parker novels continues at Bastei Verlag, beginning with this 2013 issue. Cooke's signature mid-century modern art and taut storytelling bring the ruthless, methodical criminal to life in a series that distills hardboiled crime fiction into pure visual grit. It's an essential entry for fans of Cooke's acclaimed graphic novel work and Stark's lean, brutal prose.
