When Darwyn Cooke realized his dream of adapting Richard Stark's Parker novels into comics, the Runners podcasted about it. We move on to Cooke's loving translations of these crime classics to the graphic medium with the first two of his four adaptations, The Hunter and The Outfit. When professional thief Parker is double-crossed by his wife and partners and left for dead, everyone thinks he's gone for good... until he returns to New York to embark on a murderous quest for revenge and remuneration that will put him at odds with both his betrayers and New York's organized crime scene! Then, when the vendetta from the Outfit refuses to go away, Parker and some trusted colleagues undertake to show them just how dangerous a man who's not afraid to be a no-good rotten crook can be. Topics of discussion include the nature and influence of the Parker character, Scott Dunbier's unique niche in the comics industry, and what exactly Wolverine's catchphrase is.

Covering Richard Stark's Parker: The Hunter (2008) and Richard Stark's Parker: The Outfit (2009) by Darwyn Cooke (W/A), Scott Dunbier (E), and more.
