ROBERT B. PARKER’S THE BRIDGE: A COLE AND HITCH NOVEL by Robert Knott / Z-View
ROBERT B. PARKER’S THE BRIDGE: A COLE AND HITCH NOVEL by Robert Knott
First sentence…
The dense mass of stars was unusually ominous and threatening as if the whole tangle of constellations was up to no damn good.
The Overview: Beware of Spoilers…
Word reaches Appaloosa that the massive 300 foot bridge being built over the Rio Blanco River has been blown up. There has been no account of the lives lost or who was behind the deadly blast. Appaloosa’s sheriff, Sledge Driskill and his two deputies ride out to investigate.
When days pass with no word from Sheriff Driskill, territorial Marshals Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch decide to investigate. It could be that Driskill and his men were delayed by the treacherous winter storm that has hit the area.
Or it could be something worse.
When Cole and Hitch are involved, bet on something worse.
+++
THE BRIDGE is the seventh Cole and Hitch outing and the third written by Robert Knott. The first four were written by the series creator, Robert B. Parker. Knott was selected to continue the series due to Knott’s involvement with the movie adaptation of Parker’s first Cole and Hitch novel, APPALOOSA. Knott co-wrote the screenplay with Ed Harris, the star of the film. Knott also served as a producer on the film and played a supporting role in it as well. Knott was a worthy choice to continue the Cole and Hitch tales. Each new novel is sure to entertain.
Rating:
“Rocky” by Denis Medri!
Denis Medri is a Rocky fan who revisits the film a couple of times a year. Medri (rightfully) calls it a masterpiece. He saw the trailer for I Play Rocky and it inspired him to repost a Rocky drawing he did way back in 2013!
Barbarian by Gerardo Zaffino!
No one creates characters as physically imposing as Gerardo Zaffino.

“Sienkiewicz That Polish Guy” – The Poster and Trailer are Here!
The Poster and Trailer for (Bill) Sienkiewicz That Polish Guy is here. Bill Sienkiewicz broke into comics while still a teenager. Some (at first) wrote him off as a Neal Adams clone… but even those folks couldn’t deny Sienkiewicz’s talent. Soon enough Bill Sienkiewicz was creating groundbreaking art. Never one to rest on what he had already done, Sienkiewicz’s art was always morphing into something new. That is why Bill Sienkiewicz is many fans’ favorite and an artist’s artist.
Deal me in.
THAT POLISH GUY is the feature documentary on Bill Sienkiewicz, the artist who broke every rule in comics and changed the medium forever.

Stars: Charley Chase, Margaret Quimby, Jim Mason, William Orlamond.
Tagline: None.
The Plot…
Charley dreams of flying. Every day Charley goes to the airfield where for a small price a pilot will give you a plane ride. Every day Charley gets in line with his money ready. And every day, Charley chickens out.
Today is no different. Well… except for one small change.
Charley went to the airfield. He got in line with his money. He chickened out. Instead of leaving he went over to stand by one of the airplanes. When a cute woman came by, Charley acted as if he was a pilot and the plane was his.
What Charley didn’t know is the woman is a pilot and the plane is hers. She thought Charley was cute by trying to impress her as a pilot when it was so clear, he wasn’t.
But she played along. She asked Charley to take her up for a ride. At that point Charley couldn’t refuse.
Better buckle up. It’s going to be a bumpy ride.
Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…
Charley Chase was an writer, director and actor. Although he died at a relatively young age (46), his resume includes 282 acting roles, 174 films as a director and 37 as writer.
Us was directed by Charley Chase’s brother.
Us is a play on the title of Charles Lindberg’s account of his solo flight across the Atlantic, titled We.
Us (1927) rates 3 of 5 stars.
