Paul Parker. Excellent Art here. Doesn't appear to be on wikipedia or have a Lambiak entry. Can anybody point me to information on him? Thanks

Always a big fan of Dick Powell, my favourite Marlowe – so a great joy to stumble across this. Paul Parker, whoever he may be, does justice with art that dispenses with noir stereotypes yet still succeeds in generating menace in vibrant colour. A genuine femme fatale and a spiral fall straight out of Hitchcock – this would have made a great movie

Still can't find much on Paul Parker. DC Database says, '22 Mar 2019 ... Personal History of Paul Parker is unknown. Professional History of Paul Parker is unknown' Damn! I hate Mysteries. He seemed to like Noir work. Worked with Gardner Fox on tales in MANHUNT, for magazine enterprises. Also in KILLERS for the same publisher. Also did some work for Fox inc. Phantom Lady. And some fifties work for DC [My Greatest Adventure, House of Secrets] His editor for all of that probably would have been Fox. Cheers!

As a kid, I was always a big fan of tough guy, Dick Powell on TV. I dropped him for a time when I some of his early singing pictures. As an adult, I came to appreciate those musicals. I acquired a deeply held belief that hard boiled detectives and film noire were the bomb. Hence my appreciation for Powell’s later films and radio work. That’s the reason I enjoyed this One Off so much. It’s apparent that the writer of the script, as well as the artist, also enjoyed doing it.

An excellent story, drawn very well by Parker, and I was glad it was given the entire book. And the colouring was also done very well. Too bad it wasn't a 52-page book. It needed more flushing out at the end, which came too abruptly, and would have been better if it had more room for the reader to see details of the criminal organisation's structure, and at least one or two examples of how it operated, and what its goals were. And, we would have liked to see what happened to it after its five leaders were killed, or put out of action. I think it was an interesting choice to make film star, Dick Powell into a fictional character, with his own adventures. But, it was a bit unbelievable that he would take on a criminal ring on his own, with no client, "on the come", hoping to get the party who most benefitted from his risking his life and eraticating that nuisance without a client (which might be a government agency?).

This story is a gem. Great snappy noirish dialogue from 'Powell,' including the standard 'Hardboiled first person voice over' in the form of thought balloons. The art is pretty good too.
