I did go out and pick up Parker: The Hunter this weekend... How did I not know Richard Stark is a pseudonym for Donald Westlake.

His style, both artistic and storytelling were tied to the silver age. <br />I fell in love with his work on the New Frontier, and immediately went back to collect everything he had done. One favorite that doesn't get mentioned much is Selinas Big Score. It's a perfect heist tale.<br />His latest work, Twilight Children seemed like it ended a bit abruptly after just 4 issues, and I now wonder if it was due to health reasons. <br />In any case, his passing leaves a tremendous hole in this fan's heart.

His Superman was powerful yet human and his Wonder Woman was a zaftig demi-goddess that both heroes respected and I don't think ANYONE ever complained about.<br /><br />RIPKevin Findleynoreply@blogger.com
