Rainy Days and Monkeys

Hi ho!

It's raining on the far side of the world and once again, I forgots to blog!

New pages went up on schedule though if you were paying attention:

The Hunter II page 26














Kung Fu Monkeyface page 16
























Here's a sterling comic book recommendation for you:
The Hunter
adaptation by Darwyn Cooke.



















This is Cooke's comic book version of the first of those Richard Stark Parker books that I've been extolling here on the blog.











It's gorgeous and note perfect. Hardboiled crime comics at their absolute best. It's really quite a lot better than Gabe Stein's The Hunter. :)










Cooke really is a master. Not a line out of place. The design, the color, the lettering - the whole damn package is just top of the line. I got a chance to go to Darwyn Cooke's panel at the New York comicon. Very interesting guy with all the right opinions on all the right things. I spoke with him briefly and he was all kinds of nice. It's always gratifying to meet people you admire and have them not be dicks.

Check it out and I bet you'll snatch up the next volume The Outfit on your very next visit to the ol' comic shop.

Have a Happy Halloween weekend!
