S03E05: Parker — A Criminal Adaptation
Description
Content warning: misogyny, domestic abuse, suicide [26:54 - 34:02 ]
When a guy in a Mercedes honked at him, Yan said nothing and biked away. Slung over his back was a messenger bag containing some clothes, a snack, and the omnibus edition of "Parker", written by Richard Stark and adapted into comics by Darwyn Cooke.
The plan was clear: arrive at the studio by 10am. Greet Nat a very good morning. And then—with the persuasive power of a ten-pound tome—introduce Nat to one of the greatest crime comics of all time.

In this episode, Nat reads pages 1–51 of "The Hunter".
