In 1962 hecreated the master thief Parker and began a series of novels that have been recognized as seminal works of crime fiction. Several of Westlake's books have been adapted by Hollywood and Westlake's adaptation of The Grifters earned him an Academy Award nomination for best motion picture screenplay. Westlake has won numerous awards for his fiction and in 1993 the Mystery Writers of America named him a Grand Master, the highest honor bestowed by that prestigious society. Darwyn Cooke (1962-2015) was a graphic designer and animator who turned his attention toward cartooning in the late nineties. Known primarily for his work on the DC line of superheroes, Cooke always had an affinity for crime fiction and has often cited the Parker books as a great source of creative inspiration. Cooke has won multiple Eisner, Harvey, and Shuster awards, as well as the National Cartoonist Society's Best Series award. In 2008 Cooke was Emmy-nominated for the animated adaptation of his magnum opus, DC: The New Frontier. ## Images ![Parker: The Score: 03 - Image 1](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51DbpUZ9iFL.jpg) ![Parker: The Score: 03 - Image 2](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51XWfiLXvpL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by C***E on 8 August 2015* My brother loved this ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cooke scores again! *by S***E on 29 April 2013* I'm the perfect audience for these books as I've never read a Richard Stark/Donald Westlake novel about Parker but I love Darwyn Cooke, I like crime stories and looooove comics, so mixing all that up and serving it to me is gravy every time. I will read a Parker novel by Westlake one day but for now, The Hunter, The Outfit, and this one, The Score are perfectly enjoyable by themselves.Parker is his usual tough-guy self as he gets drawn into a scheme to rob an entire town, a small mining town in the middle of nowhere, in a single night. He assembles a team of expert thieves to assist in the raid and they plan meticulously - but of course things don't go according to plan, neither are they what they seem.My favourite book of the series so far is The Outfit though The Score is a close runner up and it's told in a more straightforward way, unlike The Outfit which made great use of various comics styles to tell the story. The Score is also the first Parker book where thing have gone wrong - in previous titles, Parker and co. have made a plan and pulled it off perfectly. Here, Parker finally encounters trouble and has to deal with complications as they arise, leading to a more tense and exciting story overall.The one criticism I would have is how few people the crew encounter in the town - even if there is a curfew and it's set at night, they meet just one person on the streets? In the entire town? Hmmm.Cooke's art is as amazing as ever and his adaptation - while I don't know how faithful to the source material it is - is a thrilling read. If you love crime comics set in the 60s-era with fantastic art and tremendous style, Cooke's Parker books are for you. The Score is terrific - can't wait for Slayground (Cooke's next Parker adaptation)! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant *by I***N on 13 August 2012* This is hard-boiled crime fiction at it's finest. The art is amazing and the pacing is immaculate.So much fun. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/153257431-parker-the-score-03](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/153257431-parker-the-score-03) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
