Previewsworld talk to Darwyn at SDCC

a brief conversation with Darwyn at the IDW booth during the San Diego Comic-Con, July 2012, by the folks at Previewsworld.

Darwyn Cooke signs exclusive!

Big news over here in the Cooke household!  We've decided to get officially married, this November, in Las Vegas.

The Score!

The latest Richard Stark adaptation is out now! If you're lucky enough to be in the San Diego area and have your fists tightly wrapped around a comic-con badge, Darwyn will be at the IDW Publishing booth to sign copies of the just-released graphic novel, "The Score." IDW has an exclusive edition only available at comic-con.

update: that edition sold out during preview night!

And on Sunday, July 15th, there's an hour-long session starting at 12:30 called "Darwyn Cooke and The Man Called Parker" — Darwyn discusses all things Parker in a lively hour of opinions, insights, and downright good conversation! Along with editor Scott Dunbier, Darwyn will answer questions and talk about Richard Stark's classic heist-man -- and unveil Cooke and IDW's plans for the future of the graphic novel series -- including revealing what the next Parker book will be!

OR if you're not able to make it to San Diego, get over to The Violent World of Parker for a terrific conversation between the folks who run that website and Darwyn as they go over the Parker series and some big news is revealed about the future Parker books!

Spidey at 50

Spider-man turns fifty this year and the LA Times's Hero Complex will be talking to notable names about the character’s success and singular appeal. In today's post, they talk to Darwyn and he explains how he found a connection — and a career — in early Spider-Man comics.

Here's to you, HEROES

Charity auctions net 20K for Hero Initiative.

Marsha and I are very proud to report that our second annual "12 Days" auctions for the Hero Initiative were successful beyond our wildest dreams. This year, we were able to raise just over $20,000.00! This is a stupefying number, literally doubling last year's amount.

Your help will go a long way to making life easier for some of the older creators out there, who aren't in the social safety net.

This speaks to the generosity and good will of my fans and readers alike in a way I can never repay. You guys are simply amazing, and I want to thank everyone who bid this year.

I want to give a special tip of Santa's chapeau to my dear friend and Art Dealer, Albert Moy. Albert likes to act like a hard-nosed businessman, but the big softy laid out high numbers to win 6 of the auctions. Thanks, man. You're my hero this year.

BTW- the image is a piece my genius cartoonist buddy Mike Holmes did for me this year. As you can see, I love orange pants. Thanks, Mike! You're the best.



Anyway,love to all y'all and thanks so much

Darwyn and Marsha
