How To Make Hummus With Kitchenaid

BEST MAN of 2000> 2010

10 years. A decade, a decade. Make lists of fun, and sometimes you will see things that were before your eyes the whole time but in the middle of what became muddy magma production, you had not noticed before. What is he spent his last 10 years between the BUG 2000 and Wikileaks?

Let us focus on BD: Who was the cartoonist who represented "to me" the best of the best. Who has bewitched the point is impatient at the slightest mention of a book on the imminent release? Who? I know that for me was the author of BD, the largest of the 1990> 1999 is simple: FRANK MILLER who finished in style in a hail of arrows Persians a great career with 300. So ... which was that the last 10 years ... Well, I'm not going to blow the suspense and "I'll look master Najjar (messenger of" New Star ") and then to pose in front cameras, unfold my paper as slowly as possible just to check one last time if it was not bomb Baghdad style ". Nah, man of the decade for me

is Darwyn Cooke.
(applause)


He began his meteoric career in 2000 with BATMAN: EGO and this year he has just released the second adaptation of Richard Stark's PARKER: THE OUTFIT. 10 YEARS all round.

KISS THE COOKE
Darwyn is a Canadian, naturally fed COMICS Yankee and BD Franco Belge . In 1985, selected in a talent search at DC, he published his first short story in the New Talent Showcase # 19 was already POLAR.

And then nothing. He failed to break through at the time and he returned to Toronto where he became Artistic Director in a fashion magazine, a something like VOGUE. 15 years to organize shooting for U2 and LINDA ENGELISTA in underwear ... or without. Duraille job as if, if. But we know that even the most beautiful woman eventually tired man who is not in love ... Darwyn wanted to pursue his childhood love, the COMICS. He returned to drawing as much as possible and then finally left his post as DA and has mounted a small animation studio. He never lost hope of making COMICS. The second half of the '90s was quite prolific in ONE SHOT fairly original. You could take BATMAN or SUPERMAN and invent a story with crazy, absolutely out of the continuity of other BAT COMICS and make out nicely. Darwyn sent a draft of one shot in DC COMICS. His case has been 4 long years to finish the office MARK Chiarello (then became art director at DC). Mark thought he would someday someone thinks to bring down the huge pile of pre-selected projects on hold, just to reach an emergency exit or both. He dives into the pile and gets BATMAN: EGO. Mark the contacts named Darwyn but he moved, he works now in LA WARNER BROS ANIMATION (thus the same box as him, since DC is a subsidiary of TIME / Warner). It does not take long to finally get their hands on the prodigy. For over 4 years, he has made progress on Darwyn not so young who had responded to an advertisement posted by Bruce Timm and worked with him on Batman (he storyboard sequence DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, which blew everyone the have seen). Darwyn also produce the generic TOP HYPE at the time of Batman Beyond, which led him to work on SUPERMAN ANIMATED (always with TIMM) and become one of the directors for the series MEN IN BLACK: The Series.

Mark Chiarello and COOKE challenge the order in BATMAN: EGO and it was in 2000, a pleasant surprise that was offered to all those who were curious enough to the open at the time. Each page screamed his love to BRUCE TIMM but the story tight and intimate (in a total intrspection schizofrènique, BATMAN struggling against himself to see who he really is ... yep). His narration retro and modern at once catches the reader who redemende.

This time, Cook did not give up the case, nah, nah, nah! And no question of waiting to DC so fingers still ... 4 years. Mister D. MARVEL darkens in which he produced several short stories for series that have the wind in its sails as X-FORCE written by Peter Milligan and drawn by Mike 'MADMAN' Allred. In the wake and in joy, he mumuse with Wolverine / Doop and SPIDERMAN ultra cute, ultra retro. He returned to DC when Stan Lee revisits the local pantheon (JUST IMAGINE STAN LEE ... with Superman or Batman, etc ...) will make an COOKE CATWOMAN BLAXPOTATION version. Not bad for a beginning.

In 2001, ED 'CRIMINAL' BRUBAKER has plans to give new life and new credibility to CATWOMAN. The naughty side in purple leather S & M with a tail whip-like ... Mmm, it's too '90s. The female audience who usually loves Me and vomited on the edge of the desert and track. Nobody knows what to do with the character who steals from the rich to keep to herself.

(CATWOMAN by Jim Balent and Darwyn Cooke ... JOCK)

"TRAIL OF CATWOMAN "was a bit of ONE YEAR BRUBAKER & COOKE. This comic is in my eyes what they did best in their careers and indeed it was this story that has something big magnifying glass on them. For the record ONE YEAR, 4 was poor little episodes that chronicles the origins of Batman's first year (hence the title) as he was wont to do whenever DC would get new customers. They MILLER Mazzuchelli and let them do without knowing they had a classic on the arm.
Same for CATWOMAN TRAIL OF THE which was serialized in 4 episodes rapidos fucking in the late comic BATMAN # 759 to # 762 as bonus. Incidentally BRUBAKER COOKE and we will go out SLAM BRADLEY.

(CATWOMAN, coverage censored due to bootilicious attitude)

Who SLAM is Bradley? This was one of the main characters of comics in March 1937 DETECTIVE COMICS # 1 (yes, like the 2 letters of the logo of DC COMICS ...) that the number 19 will show a curious character: BATMAN!! ! BRUBAKER will launch shortly after on GOTHAM CENTRAL MICHAEL LARK with allowing them to resume DAREDEVIL BRUBAKER then be done with the best thriller SEAN PHILLIPS available on the market today CRIMINAL.

was an immediate success and the set of CATWOMAN new version is launched. For the series this time, you need a costume SELINA KYLE, Darwyn will then something quite unique about creating a female character ... he asked his wife how she would imagine the costume. Finish the look Hardos BIATCH. Back to the version of Miller in ONE YEAR, ex-prostitute (SM mistress) who has never "met a real man" ... but will become a professional thief. COOKE
lays the first 4 numbers inked by Mike Allred (good, there is a network of boyfriend or not?) and then we mounted a prequel that goes beyond even as everything we had seen so far - SELINA: BIG SCORE.

A black detective in black, like a taut string with an atmosphere more enjoyable '70. One of the main characters of this trio is called banqueurs STARK ... and it looks more like Lee Marvin, actor who starred in POINT BLANK JOHN BOORMAN, the first screen adaptation of THE HUNTER by Richard Stark writes ... rhoo the bastard, he had everything planned from the beginning. SELINA: BIG SCORE is and will forever part of my ULTIMATE TOP 10 best comics ever read all categories and all time. If I want to show someone what it's like the comic, I'm off BATMAN: YEAR ONE or SELINA: BIG SCORE.

(two pages of the short story THE NEW FRONTIER, history will show what the comics ...)

COOKE had any also passed on a big project at DC before going to pick a little at MARVEL, DC: THE NEW FRONTIER (2004) ... Yep, the project took 3 years before be given the green light by bosses, COOKE wisely intended to take ALL of the DC characters and do a story that happen in the '50s and where-known characters will appear in the chronological order of their real coming of the world. 6 episodes of 80 pages each, with a monthly publication, of course. gloups, all by a novice. Darwyn sums up his line to paste the graphics of the era and thus produces 480 pages in which he will do everything except the lettering and color. It is a massive success.

The references to the best of the authors COMICS SILVER AGE (JOE Kubert, Alex Toth, Jack Kirby, etc. ...) are incorporated with gusto and never their original spirit is misguided. COOKE even allows himself a true social and political commentary on the period (racism, Mac Carthy, etc ...). Visually COOKE was at the peak of his art, the original covers flirt with abstraction and do not ever present the characters in heroic poses or other retro cliches he has avoided.

He will win an Eisner Award for "Best Limited Series" and a Joe Shuster Award for "Outstanding Canadian Comic Book Cartoonist." DC produce some years later, a cartoon of DC: THE NEW FRONTIER. When


MARK Chiarello launches her collection SOLO, it''s a breath of fresh air in a standardized production. An author's command alone for 48 pages, two rules imposed to make such short stories and one of them must have a character at DC. After everyone chooses his staff and does what he wants. COOKE look after itself and with panache of No. 5.

MISTER DC (rhooo, I never saw it again ...) we will produce the number of SOLO most unique ever created, it will cut off those 48 pages as a magazine, with stories ultra short (Two pages) but also games and other small strips. Of course, SLAM BRADLEY will adventure but also in a Batman story that should have been written by BRUCE TIMM that lack of time to load COOKE leave a very black mood.

SOLO (by COOKE) already looks like a first step back on his work past 2000> 2005. Several famous Actor's own stories have answered this; SLAM BRADLEY KING Farraday and even STARK. The number will be awarded the Eisner Award for "Best Single Issue" more than deserved.

MISTER DC (Rhâââ, I will not defer ... ;)...) no longer touches land, he said it is time to send this shit stroll superhero. This is a good time it does not feel at all synchronized with the turn things are taking. Sadism, rape and other stuff the weak lazy screenwriters drunk. It's time to exit through the front door and go to the TRUE POLAR ... but that whore? Where? When suddenly ... the phone rings "hello , Darwyn, you're a fan of Will Eisner, you either? We bought everything we want out and EISNER THE SPIRIT ... but make it less ... (silence) ... old. ; Want do? Umm ... Darwyn hast always there? "[this call has perhaps never happened ... maybe it was an email ...]

WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS OUT, THEY PULL ME BACK IN.
So, COOKE plunges, he spins a CROSSOVER BATMAN / THE SPIRIT to attract customers with a scriptwriter joef LOEB who has no place of kinship with CAROLINE LOEB, but joef his screenplay, "THAT THE TISSUE ...". We almost believe that we lost Darwyn between the lines of an exclusive contract which has the side effect of cutting the inspiration of the authors. Well, no. series of THE SPIRIT by Darwyn Cooke (J. BONE and the ink) will be a real killer.

A rereading of the myth of the SPIRIT ... the inverse of the movie ... if you know what I mean ... um ... um . Cook leaves gradually take the game and continue well after the first 6 numbers provided with 6 episodes. In all, 12 episodes sublime, 12 COOKE wonders where the sun shines on Will. But J. BONE must start working on something else and Darwyn unwilling to continue without him.

This time it's good, Darwyn is looking for a new dad and as if by chance, an editor at Wildstorm, Scott Dunbier, has made Lourdes a little wickedly and bounced on a desk at IDW (30 DAYS OF NIGHTS, etc. ...), the box comes up. Contacts are made with Donald Westlake (Richard Stark was his nickname because in the '60s it was not cool to give a book a week). WESTLAKE never let the character be used PARKER under his real name, several films were made but never they had the right to use his real name; PARKER. This time (magic of the editor, Scott Dunbier) COOKE has access to everything.
He works like crazy, living in a dream, winning a mad pace and this time he will do everything, drawing, adaptation, ink, color, lettering. Cooke finished the book and sends it to the end of WESTLAKE year. The package will remain closed for several days, then DONALD WESTLAKE off.

COOKE is devastated, he will never know what STARK really thought of his work.

Darwyn Dunbier and know they have lightning between hands up Wholesale COOKE. Either he succeeds and his career will be fine and with less con flying inside. Either it crashes and goes have to scratch at the door for the puff ... anything. This is all for everything. Does the GRAPHIC NOVEL can sell? Is there an audience for something other than superheroes? IDW will release the book at the perfect model on a large scale betting that Stark has a lot of fans anyway. But will they read the comics?

SCOTT Darwyn and then make a bet idiot, guess how long the first draw will be exhausted before reprinting ... COOKE gives a rag, it will be double. PARKER is out of stock VERY FAST! Critics are excellent ... but not as much as the book. Even for cinema lovers, THE HUNTER is an immense pleasure. You see lines of a guy who has seen much of all the adaptations of the novel to the movies produced and has in him the two versions of PAYBACK BRIAN HELGELHAND and who once spent two films simultaneously (SHOW DVD + DVD MAC) to appreciate the subtle differences between the two mounting.

COOKE still finds time to draw two episodes of JONAH HEX, whose formidable No. 50 or HEX, the bounty hunter must catch a band of 50 thieves. Hop like that, no hands, I am a western dark, in a new style and I will again put everyone in between two fine PARKER crazy when I already everyone to their knees.

PARKER: THE OUTFIT released in 2010 marks the end of the decade COOKE. This time, for those who have not read the novels, that's all new and fun is even more intense. Others Darwyn plays well with the variations of style, says more and more the story with images and when you should, you glue 4 pages of text.

Darwyn Cooke reflects deeply in form and substance of COMICS. He is an author considered outdated as it is more modern than many of his colleagues "pseudo-futuristic". The graphics are highly present in his work, he is like or FRANK KYLE BAKER MILLER, a man who is recreated for each new project. It has a direct and open vision of what should be COMICS. Why take the characters for their child and do things for adults, eh? If there is a real adult stories, so why put fools in tights and capes of clowns? Must choose.

After what has just said Darwyn this year (see video HERE ) which has been extensively reviewed by industry professionals as they say, it seems that Cook chose his camp. He put his mouth in the same axis as the balls and he left the world of superheroes. These works are blankets, a western and noir. COOKE cites among his influences "Paperback cover artist Mitchell Hooks, Bernard Kriegstien Steve Engleheart, Yves Barge, Rob Courdry, Dick Cheney, Bob Mitchum, Cornell Woolrich, Charlie Murphy, Ann Coulter, Al Sharpton, Al Franken, Alex Toth, Javier Pulido Dave Bullock and color artist Dave Stewart.
