In the next couple of weeks you are going to be hearing lots about Richard Stark's professional criminal Parker. But before I start spamming your brain with my current Dork Hero obsession, I just want to let you know that in July, IDW will be publishing a fancy shmancy $75, 344 page, slipcased omnibus featuring Darwyn Cooke's gorgeous adaptations of of The Hunter and The Outfit, PLUS! a brand new Parker short story by Cooke himself.
I find the new Short Story to be incredibly intriguing. Is it a brand-new story, wholly created by Cooke or is it some micro adaptation similar to what he did with Stark's second novel The Man With The Getaway Face as an intro to The Outfit. If it's a new story, well, that would be the first time anyone but Stark (aka Donald Westlake) handled the reins on Parker...that is exciting and a touch worrisome for this uber-fan.
