Luna Park est la 4e aventure en BD de Parker, le gangster sans états d''âme imaginé par Richard Stark, alias Donald Westlake, le maître du roman noir états-unien ; l''adaptation est signée par un autre grand nom : Darwin Cooke, star du comics. Avoir un accident quand on quitte un coup en catastrophe, c''est grave. Mais pour Parker, gangster impitoyable, aujourd''hui, c''est pire : il n''a d''autre alternative que de se réfugier, avec le butin, dans un parc d''attractions vide situé sur une île. À ses trousses, des flics pourris qui n''ont pas d''autre intention que de s''emparer de l''argent et de se débarrasser de lui. Dommage que ce parc d''attractions soit fermé pour l''hiver : le spectacle à venir promet d''être grandiose. Et sanglant. Luna Park est le 4e polar mettant en scène Parker, gangster sans états d''âmes, signé Westlake et adapté par Cooke : un pitch imparable, une histoire extraordinaire et un plus en fin d''ouvrage : l''adaptation de « Le Septième ».

Parker est le prototype du dur à cuir sans états d''âmes, brutal et violent. Ce personnage a été créé par le « pape » du polar américain, Don Westlake, alias Richard Stark. Et c''est la superstar du comics Darwyn Cooke qui adapte ici le premier roman de la série dans un style parfait : noir, au couteau, et sensuel. Parker est un gangster dur, froid, brutal, qui n''éprouve que très rarement le moindre sentiment. On le découvre arrivant à New York, après avoir traversé l''Amérique. Parker est très en colère. Parker a la colère froide. Parker a été roulé sur un coup, et presque tué par sa propre femme. Il n''aura de cesse de retrouver Lynn. Il n''aura de cesse de retrouver celui par qui tout est arrivé. Et il n''aura de cesse de retrouver les 40.000 dollars qu''on lui a carrotés. Parker se fiche de savoir combien de cadavres il devra semer sur sa route pour arriver à ces fins. Parker veut se venger et retrouver son argent, et tant pis s''il doit se frotter à la mafia. Pour cela, il lui faudra, et nous avec, plonger au coeur de l''Amérique de la pègre et du crime, l''Amérique des personnages sans foi ni loi. (traduction : Tonino Benacquista !)
