Darwyn Cooke, Eisner-Award-winning writer/artist, sets his artistic sights on bringing to life one of the true classics of crime fiction: Richard Stark’s Parker. Stark was a pseudonym used by the revered and multi-award-winning author, Donald Westlake. The Hunter, the first book in the Parker series, 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!

After evening the score with those who betrayed him, and recovering the money he was cheated out of from the syndicate, Parker is riding high, living in swank hotels and enjoying the finer things in life again. Until, that is, he’s fingered by a squealer who rats him out to the Outfit for the price they put on his head… and they find out too late that if you push Parker, it better be all the way into the grave! Darwyn Cooke is an Eisner- and Emmy-winning creator whose adaptation of Richard Stark’s first groundbreaking Parker novel has earned him multiple 2010 Eisner Award nominations!

Illustrator Nathan St John and writer Ben Wagner bring modern noir to the West in the original graphic novel Baja. In this sexy, twisting thriller, Hil and Zack – a beautiful woman and a man who knows better – must escape a stalker whose fate is tied to their own. St John and Wagner play with conventions, leading readers in unexpected directions with a story that deftly weaves two tales of love, sex, greed, and betrayal. St John’s distinctive art style perfectly matches the shadowy criminal world of Baja.

Ray Crisara, a tough cop who’s survived a terrible car accident, discovers his wife is dead and his daughter in critical condition. Believing this was a planned hit by the city’s drug lord he’s been pursuing, Ray’s brain injury leaves him five days before he dies to track the killer or be there for his little girl… Ray’s clock is ticking. Find out what happens in 5 Ways to Die.

Detective Shane Collins is a good cop who has been brutally murdered. Given a second chance to seek vengeance against his killers, Shane’s spirit walks the dark line between life and death, honor and betrayal, where nothing is as it seems, and where the truth can hurt far worse than lies. In this haunting new original graphic novel from writer Tom Waltz (Silent Hill: Past Life) and artist Guiu Vilanova (Cory Doctorow’s Futuristic Tales of the Here and Now), find out what happens… After the Fire.

The Cooke stuff is a steal. People should really read the Richard Stark novels, too

Jason Tucker says:

I don’t care if these books will cost $0.01 If the quality is going to suck as much as today’s books do.
