Synopsis "Richard Stark's Parker: The Martini Edition - Last Call"

The long-awaited companion to the Award-winning Martini Edition is finally here, collecting The Score and Slayground in a beautiful oversized slipcase edition. Features more than 100 pieces of never-before-seen Parker art by Darwyn Cooke; a round table talk with Ed Brubaker, Sean Phillips, Bruce Timm, and Scott Dunbier on Parker and Cooke; and a brand-new 17-page story by multiple Eisner Award-winning creators Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips. Darwyn Cooke crafted four universally acclaimed Parker graphic novels, adapted from the works of Richard Stark (A pseudonym for Donald Westlake), before his untimely death. This volume will be (along with the Martini Edition) the last word on Cooke's brilliant Parker stories. This edition is a loving tribute to the legacy of Darwyn Cooke and Parker.

Ed Brubaker (Bethesda, Maryland, 1966) is an American screenwriter and graphic novelist, known for revitalizing the noir genre comic and for his mature approach to superhero stories. He began his career with the semi-autobiographical series Lowlife and gained notoriety at DC Comics with titles such as Batman, Catwoman, and Gotham Central. At Marvel, his stint on Captain America (2004–2012) is especially famous for introducing the Winter Soldier, redefining the character of Bucky Barnes.

His collaboration with artist Sean Phillips has resulted in notable works such as Criminal (2006–present), Fatale (2012–2014), The Fade Out (2014–2016), and the Reckless series of graphic novels (2020–present). These works, published by Image Comics, have been acclaimed for their intense narrative and noir style. Brubaker has been awarded multiple Eisner and Harvey Awards, including Best Writer and Best New Series for Criminal. Additionally, he has ventured into television as co-writer of the series Too Old to Die Young (2019), directed by Nicolas Winding Refn.
