Cooke is truly a kind and generous man. He pays frequent visits to my LCS and shows up around the city for signings and various events. I have been the fortunate recipient of several nice Cooke sketches over the years. I attended a special book launch party for Parker, and he signed and sketched the inside covers and took the time out to engage in some great conversation. The man knows his stuff. He even furnished me with a special little artbook with "out takes" from the Parker book. And I echo Slam's endorsement of the Solo comic and its superb Faraday story.

I think the King Faraday story in there is as good as anything that Cooke has done. The coloring on it is absolutely incredible.Slam Bradley (Tim Schneider)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16897036.post-71788266504135000422010-03-04T14:12:12.668-05:002010-03-04T14:12:12.668-05:00Hey Ray - thanks for the comments.

I liked the first one a lot more than the second.Scott Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00178848796601157212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16897036.post-61525740822640157762010-03-04T13:19:15.707-05:002010-03-04T13:19:15.707-05:00Yeah, I really liked this too, Scott.

If you haven't read that (I think it's in two trades), you might want to pick it up as well.Ray R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00816558221155415778noreply@blogger.com
