Richard Stark's Parker: The Hunter by Richard Stark, Darwyn Cooke
4.0
I grew up reading pulp novels from the 50s and 60s that my uncle collected, and while this isn't in novel form, it took me back to those days.
The artwork for this graphic novel is excellent, often substituting for the narration and you don't miss those empty worded panels at all! You get the atmosphere and grittiness of underworld NYC from the black and grey images Cooke supplies us with. My only real complaint is the font wasn't always easy to read. I'll definitely be looking out for the next in the series.
Parker is a hard nosed professional thief, only taking the well paying jobs. When he starts running low on dough, he seeks out another score. This gets him by until he is double crossed by some of his cohorts and his lady out of his share of 90 grand. After some time in the slammer, Parker is bent on revenge. Just how many bodies will pile up until Parker gets his man and his dough?
