Catwoman: Selina's Big Score
by Darwyn Cooke
This Catwoman tale by Darwyn Cooke is a great homage to Richard Stark’s (Donald E Westlake’s) Parker novels.
Catwoman gets wind of a potential heist caper that requires her to put a team together. Her go-to guy is Stark (a stand-in for Parker), who was Selina’s mentor and lover, and whom she had long ago stiffed on a a diamond heist.
Westlake-level action and plot twists ensue, with crackling noir dialog.
Also on hand is private eye Slam Bradley, who figured largely in the Ed Brubaker’s Catwoman run.
This graphic novel functions as a good lead-in/try-out for Cooke’s later series of Parker graphic novels.
