Just finished The Jugger, the sixth Parker book by Donald Westlake/Richard Stark. One thing that has really struck me about this series is how lean these books are. There is no waste. No unnecessary...
A big loss. Love his work on Daredevil: Yellow.

Starting a new Richard Stark Parker binge. Reading THE MOURNER which is pretty much Parker combined with THE MALTESE FALCON which is cool. I was familiar with the first three Parker books because of...
Finished Cat Chaser by Elmore Leonard. Always nice to step back into the world of Elmore Leonard.

I've been thinking about getting some of those Complete Black Mask Cases of... books. The Rex Sackler collection sounds like a lot of fun. Do you have any favorites?
Finished The Man with the Getaway Face, the second novel in Richard Stark's Parker series. A good follow-up to The Hunter but I don't think it's quite as strong. Looking forward to The Outfit.

I've read Darwyn Cooke's adaptation so I am somewhat familiar with the story but I still wanted to read the source material.

Their Criminal series is obviously fantastic. But the arc that really stands out for me in that series is The Last of the Innocent. Brilliantly written. Top notch artwork. A complete unflinching and...
Absolutely love this cover for Reckless #5

Echoing batnbreakfast, yes, Scalped really is amazing. But outside of Scalped and his Punisher Max, which I thought was good, I haven't read anything else by Aaron.
Pulp: The Process Edition
Nice interview with Brubaker in The Hollywood Reporter - https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/ed-brubaker-reckless-winter-soldier-marvel-1235034966/

Over the past month, I've read two David Goodis books (Dark Passage and Nightfall), another Raymond Chandler novel (The Lady in the Lake), and am now currently reading Elmore Leonard's Killshot. It...
Finished Raymond Chandler's Farewell, My Lovely and just started The High Window. I think I might take a small break and read something different before I move on to the second volume.

-Friends of the Devil by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips
-Blacksad by Juan Diaz Canales and Juanio...
Jekyll, I would recommend starting with Pulp. Mostly because it is short and you can fly through that pretty quickly but it is also really good. After that, you should totally dive into Criminal.
Finished reading the Library of America's complete novels of Dashiell Hammett. Overall, I think I respect Hammett more than I actually enjoy them, but I did enjoy The Maltese Falcon and The Thin Man...
Finished Friend of the Devil and enjoyed it quite a bit. I liked it more than the first one. Part of my problem with the first one (which I enjoyed a lot) is it felt like Ethan just blundered into...

I have heard of Frederick Nebel. I saw someone in this thread reading him a while back and looked him up. Seems like his Cardigan and Macbride and Kennedy are his most well-known.
Taking a break from Ross Macdonald to go back in time to see what lead up to him. Reading Dashiell Hammett who I've wanted to read for a long time. Finished Red Harvest (liked, didn't love) and am...
So what's going on with the Inferno reprint? Is it out of print already or will there be more copies out soon?
