Darwyn Cooke's Next Parker Novel Adaptation - The Outfit

New Face. New Trouble.

In October, IDW Publishing will release Darwin Cooke's (DC: The New Frontier) second adaptation of Richard Stark's Parker novels, The Outfit. Cooke's first Parker adaptation, The Hunter, was a critical and commercial success and recently won an Eisner for "Best Adaptation From Another Work."

In The Outfit, Parker has a new face and is living a new life after getting revenge on those who betrayed him in The Hunter. Life is good until someone gives Parker up to the Outfit in order to collect the price on Parker's head. Now the Outfit is after Parker, but they are the ones in trouble.

"With The Outfit, Darwyn reaffirms that he is one of the preeminent storytellers working in comics today," said IDW Special Projects Editor Scott Dunbier. "To me, editing a book like this is the literary equivalent of catching Sandy Koufax for the 1963 Dodgers."



Said Cooke, "Scott and I hope our readers enjoy this further look into Parker's dark and seductive world. October should be a fun month and we've several plans in the works to mark the release of this baby."

Pick up The Outfit (160 pages, hardcover, 6" x 9") in October.
