New Releases by Darwyn Cooke

The groundbreaking Parker books are adapted for the first time as a series of graphic novels by legendary artist Darwyn Cooke introducing readers to the dangerous anti-hero''s cold and calculated world of criminals, thugs, and grifters. Darwyn Cooke’s beautifully stylized artwork perfectly compliments the hard-hitting action as originally written by legendary crime author Richard Stark. Parker is arguably one of the hardest hard-boiled characters in all of crime fiction and the original novels feature stories and prose that are as uncompromising as he is. This graphic novel adaptation perfectly matches the style and tone of Stark’s noir world. The Hunter is the story of a man who hits New York head-on like a shotgun blast to the chest. Betrayed by the woman he loved and double-crossed by his partner in crime, Parker makes his way cross-country with only one thought burning in his mind — to coldly exact his revenge and reclaim what was taken from him! Winner of the 2010 Eisner Award for Best Adaptation from Another Work

Le Casse est la 3e aventure en BD de Parker, le gangster sans états d''âme imaginé par Richard Stark, alias Robert Westlake, le maître du roman noir états-unien ; l''adaptation est signée par un autre grand nom : Darwin Cooke, star du comics. Une fois n''est pas coutume... Dans Le Casse, Parker déroge à ses habitudes et accepte de travailler avec un type qui n''est pas du métier. Et pour réussir ce coup, il doit monter une équipe de douze pros... C''est beaucoup trop, mais le butin en vue est fabuleux ! Et, surtout, il y a ce coup tellement ambitieux et énorme : mettre en coupe réglée une ville entière ! En une seule nuit, tout sera réglé... Le Casse est le 3e polar de Westlake adapté par Cooke ; les deux tomes précédents ont été sélectionnés pour de nombreux prix.

Dave Stevens'' The Rocketeer was an instant hit the moment it hit the spinner rack in the earl 1980s.

So, pull up a chair, sit down a while, and discover The Rocketeer all over again!
