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!
Like the last two volumes in Cooke's PARKER series, this volume is a work of art. There's something very different between reading a single issue comic book and reading Darwyn Cooke's PARKER. It's read in chapters, like a book, so it feels complete. You don't have to wait for the single issues to be released because the experience reading it as one collected volume is so worth it. The experience likens to watching a movie. It's a beautiful story and it's beautifully illustrated. The dialogue, the art and the detailed panel by panel is like seeing the storyboard for a film. I love this volume. Read Full Review
