[IDW] - RICHARD STARK`S [ENG]
El cazador es la historia de un atracador que se
enfrenta al submundo criminal de Nueva York con toda la sutileza de un impacto
de escopeta en el pecho. Abandonado por la mujer que amaba y traicionado por su
compañero de fechorías, Parker se abre camino a través del país con un único
propósito en mente: vengarse fría y brutalmente, y reclamar todo aquello que le
arrebataron.
Con El cazador se inicia la adaptación al cómic de la
serie de novelas de Richard Stark (Donald E. Westlake) protagonizadas por Parker.
Westlake, fallecido en diciembre de 2008, tuvo tiempo de ver los trabajos
preliminares de Darwyn Cooke para la adaptación de sus novelas, con los que se
mostró entusiasmado.
El cazador ha sido adaptada al cine primero por John
Boorman, en A quemarropa, protagonizada por Lee Marvin y con Angie Dickinson
entre el reparto, y más recientemente en Payback, protagonizada por Mel Gibson,
con Kris Kristofferson, James Coburn y Maria Bello.
Premio Eisner 2012 a la mejor novela gráfica
compilada (junto con ‘Parker 2. La Compañía’)
“Con este primer volumen de las fechorías del
despreciable Parker, Darwyn Cooke ya ha hecho una preciosa aportación a la
narrativa criminal del siglo XXI”. José Abad. Granada Hoy
“Cooke cuaja con Parker. El cazador, su mejor trabajo
hasta la fecha, demostrando ser uno de los grandes autores del momento”. Sergio
Benítez. Diario de Avisos
by Darwyn Cooke
Darwyn Cooke's
masterful and multi award-winning series of Parker graphic novels continues
with Slayground! Parker, whose getaway car crashes after a heist, manages to
elude capture with his loot by breaking into an amusement park that is closed
for the winter. But his presence does not go unnoticed - a pair of cops
observed the job and its aftermath. But rather than pursue their suspect...
they decide to go into business for themselves, with the help of some
"business associates." From then on it's a game of cat and mouse, one
played out through closed rides of the abandoned carnival... a game that slowly
starts to favor the mouse. Includes the Eisner award-winning short story
"The 7th," previously only available in the Martini edition!
Darwyn Cooke's
adaptation of The Hunter was one of the best-received and most popular graphic
novels of 2009. A New York Times best-seller, it has appeared on over 50
"best of the year" lists. The second book, The Outfit, will debut in
the fall, but IDW and Darwyn are presenting the first chapter here as a
stand-alone preview comic. This is a full, 24-page story that offers new
readers a perfect introduction to Richard Stark's classic crime novel
anti-hero, as well as a great story that stands alone. As an added bonus to
readers, this preview is a whopping 8" x 12."

After he evens the score with
those who betrayed him and recovers the money he was cheated out of from the
syndicate, Parker is riding high. Until, that is, he's fingered by a squealer
who rats him out to The Outfit for the price they put on his head.

Fresh from his Eisner
Award-winning efforts on The Hunter and The Outfit, Darwyn Cooke now sets his
steely sights on The Score, the classic Richard Stark Parker novel from 1964.
Parker becomes embroiled in a plot with a dozen partners in crime to pull off
what might be the ultimate heist - robbing an entire town. Everything was going
fine for a while, and then things got bad. Considered one of the best in the
Parker series, The Score is the perfect vehicle for Darwyn Cooke to pull out
all the stops and let loose with a book that has all the impact of a brutal
kick to the solar plexus
