Parker
The Hunter (Hardcover)

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!

Richard (Donald Westlake) Stark's groundbreaking Parker books are adapted for the first time as a series of graphic novels by the excellent Darwyn Cooke. The initial graphic novel brings to life the first Parker book, The Hunter, which introduces readers to the dangerous anti-hero's cold and calculated world of criminals, thugs, and grifters.

Darwyn Cooke is the Eisner Award winning writer/artist of the best-selling DC: The New Frontier, and has garnered much critical and popular acclaim as the writer/artist of a new version of The Spirit, Selina's Big Score, Batman: Ego and others. This hard-edged crime/thriller should be perfect for the many of us who enjoyed Brubaker and Phillips' Criminal.
