Graphic Novel. Gotham City is plagued with crime and corruption in places high and low, but one man has taken a stand against evil of all forms: the dark avenger known as Batman.Now, in this new collection of stories illustrated by superstar artist Tim Sale - the man responsible for all the artwork seen in the smash-hit TV series "Heroes" - the Dark Knight faces off against a murderous master swordsman, takes on the Calendar Man, relives the death of his parents, and faces a terrifying challenge: a night out on a date!Written by comics luminaries including Darwyn Cooke ("The Spirit"), James Robinson ("Starman"), Kelley Puckett ("Batman Adventures") and Alan Grant ("L.E.G.I.O.N."), this is the unforgettable team-up of the Dark Knight and one of the finest artists to draw him!

The groundbreaking Parker books are adapted for the first time as a series of graphic novels by legendary artist Darwyn Cooke introducing readers to the dangerous anti-hero''s cold and calculated world of criminals, thugs, and grifters. Darwyn Cooke’s beautifully stylized artwork perfectly compliments the hard-hitting action as originally written by legendary crime author Richard Stark. Parker is arguably one of the hardest hard-boiled characters in all of crime fiction and the original novels feature stories and prose that are as uncompromising as he is. This graphic novel adaptation perfectly matches the style and tone of Stark’s noir world. The Hunter is the story of a man who hits New York head-on like a shotgun blast to the chest. Betrayed by the woman he loved and double-crossed by his partner in crime, Parker makes his way cross-country with only one thought burning in his mind — to coldly exact his revenge and reclaim what was taken from him! Winner of the 2010 Eisner Award for Best Adaptation from Another Work

"Welcome to the DC Universe in 1950s America--a land of promise and paranoia, of glittering cities and segregated slums, of dizzying scientific progress and simmering Cold War conflict. A land without the Justice League: Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Or so it seems. The masked mystery men who fought for freedom in the Second World War have been outlawed. The soldiers and spies who conducted top-secret missions into the unknown now work in the shadows. And those icons who do still fight on--Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman--operate under hidden agendas and dueling ideologies. Yet this America needs its heroes more than ever. With darkness gathering on the horizon once more, only a bold new generation of adventurers--young, daring, and dedicated to the better angels of our nature--is equal to the challenge of the new frontier"--
