Comic-Con News: IDW Publishing has announced that it will release artist/writer Darwyn Cooke’s fourth Parker novel adaptation Slayground in December. Cooke has won multiple Eisner Awards (including in the recent 2013 Eisners, see "'Building Stories', 'Saga,' 'Hawkeye' Come Up Big at the Eisners") for his adaptations of the gritty Parker crime novels by Donald E. Westlake (writing as Richard Stark).
Slayground, which came out in 1971 and which was made into a film starring Peter Coyote in 1983, is one of the most interesting Parker novels. After a heist goes bad Parker is trapped in an amusement park that is shuttered for the winter. The clever and calculating Parker manages to make great use of the setting as he fights off terrific odds in a struggle that culminates with a shootout in a hall of mirrors where Parker manages to use the multiple reflections to his advantage in a remarkably visual climax.
