    Jan 30 2025
    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. 00:00 - Preamble 03:18 - Unhinged Yant: A Criminal Adaptation 13:35 - Nat's Five Words; Yan's Recap 16:41 - Discussion 46:13 - Yan's Final Questions 51:31 - Up Next on Comic Sans In this episode, Nat reads Richard Stark's Parker — The Hunter, pages 1–51.
