Artist/writer <span style="font-weight: bold;">Darwyn Cooke</span> of DC's <span style="font-style: italic;">The Spirit, Selina's Big Score</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">Justice League: New Frontier</span>, will be doing adaptations of Richard Stark's first four Parker novels – <span style="font-style: italic;">The Hunter, The Man With the Getaway Face, The Outfit </span>and <span style="font-style: italic;">The Mourner</span> – for IDW Publishing.<br /><br />The series is fully authorized by Donald E.
