NEWS: Parker coming to IDW

I haven't posted here in a while, but this was crime comics news too big to ignore. Artist/writer Darwyn Cooke of DC's The Spirit, Selina's Big Score and Justice League: New Frontier, will be doing adaptations of Richard Stark's first four Parker novels – The Hunter, The Man With the Getaway Face, The Outfit and The Mourner – for IDW Publishing.

The series is fully authorized by Donald E. Westlake (a/k/a Richard Stark). These B&W graphic novels will be coming out over the next couple of years. For the full story, here's the Newsarama article.

I have wanted to read the 'Parker' books ever since I saw the Mel Gibson movie 'Payback', but they aren't easy to find...
