An epic story long awaited, and well worth the wait. Meet Asterios Polyp: middle-aged, meagerly successful architect and teacher, aesthete and womanizer, whose life is wholly upended when his New York City apartment goes up in flames. In a tenacious daze, he leaves the city and relocates to a small town in the American heartland. But what is this "escape" really about? As the story unfolds, moving between the present and the past, we begin to understand this confounding yet fascinating character, and how he's gotten to where he is. And isn't. And we meet Hana: a sweet, smart, first-generation Japanese American artist with whom he had made a blissful life. But now she's gone. Did Asterios do something to drive her away? What has happened to her? Is she even alive? All the questions will be answered, eventually. In the meantime, we are enthralled by Mazzucchelli's extraordinarily imagined world of brilliantly conceived eccentrics, sharply observed social mores, and deftly depicted asides on everything from design theory to the nature of human perception. " Asterios Polyp" is David Mazzucchelli's masterpiece: a great American graphic novel.01600104932http://www.amazon.co.uk/Parker-The-Hunter-Darwyn-Cooke/dp/1600104932%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIHZ4CUKJNX37IRJQ%26tag%3Dschizopolitan-21%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D1600104932Add To Wishlisthttp://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/registry/wishlist/add-item.html%3Fasin.0%3D1600104932%26SubscriptionId%3DAKIAIHZ4CUKJNX37IRJQ%26tag%3Dschizopolitan-21%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D12734%26creativeASIN%3D1600104932Tell A Friendhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/pdp/taf/1600104932%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIHZ4CUKJNX37IRJQ%26tag%3Dschizopolitan-21%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D12734%26creativeASIN%3D1600104932All Customer Reviewshttp://www.amazon.co.uk/review/product/1600104932%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIHZ4CUKJNX37IRJQ%26tag%3Dschizopolitan-21%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D12734%26creativeASIN%3D1600104932All Offershttp://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/1600104932%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIHZ4CUKJNX37IRJQ%26tag%3Dschizopolitan-21%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D12734%26creativeASIN%3D160010493292942http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51fQEkhprgL._SL75_.jpg7551http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51fQEkhprgL._SL160_.jpg160109http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51fQEkhprgL.jpg500341http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51fQEkhprgL._SL30_.jpg3020http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51fQEkhprgL._SL75_.jpg7551http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51fQEkhprgL._SL75_.jpg7551http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51fQEkhprgL._SL110_.jpg11075http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51fQEkhprgL._SL160_.jpg160109http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51fQEkhprgL.jpg500341Darwyn CookeDarwyn CookeHardcover97816001049309781600104930NewMint ConditionDispatch same day for order received before 12 noonGuaranteed packagingNo quibbles returns1600104932190259813091IDW PublishingEnglishUnknownEnglishOriginal LanguageEnglishPublished1899GBP£18.99IDW Publishing114487913119638BookABIS_BOOK2009-07-28IDW PublishingACOUK_book_usedgood_1600104932IDW PublishingParker: The Hunter45GBP£0.45934GBP£9.34366GBP£3.661800GBP£18.0033181011http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/1600104932%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIHZ4CUKJNX37IRJQ%26tag%3Dschizopolitan-21%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D12734%26creativeASIN%3D1600104932New10CX0JOQPPJf1dLUBhjAqm9pDXvwEP7zOP%2BkgGW5g41ybBzIhtweG2etouw9pgrwq4YYmX%2FLXKhrCxw4bKETZFGrE8Hr7xRT1215GBP£12.15684GBP£6.8436Usually dispatched within 24 hoursnow001http://www.amazon.co.uk/reviews/iframe?akid=AKIAIHZ4CUKJNX37IRJQ&alinkCode=xm2&asin=1600104932&atag=schizopolitan-21&exp=2013-05-25T04%3A48%3A10Z&v=2&sig=saBBQuRRTaYZ8BVqJfk1GtgSDPqpeKcSTXLW909ngZ8%3DtrueProduct DescriptionThe Hunter, the first book in the Parker series, 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! Richard (Donald Westlake) Stark's groundbreaking Parker books are adapted for the first time as a series of graphic novels by Darwyn Cooke. The initial graphic novel brings to life the first Parker book, The Hunter, which introduces readers to the dangerous anti-hero's cold and calculated world of criminals, thugs, and grifters.0
