Six ways to get hooked on crime comics

[kestrell]

Kes: Alexx has read some of the _Criminal_ series to me, which is very dark noir, and we recently viewed the film "Point Blank," starring Lee Marvin, which is based upon the first Parker novel. While some scenes of "Point Blank" were a little dated in a 1960s sort of way, the majority of the film was still very gripping. Stark's Parker novels show up as in influence in Stephen King's _The Dark Half_ (the protagonist's last name is Stark) (it's one of my favorite King novels).
