John K. Snyder III has adapted Lawrence Block’s Eight Million Ways to Die<\/span> into a graphic novel and it is looking great!\u00a0 There have been 17 novels about Block’s unlicensed detective, Matthew Scudder, and Eight Million Ways to Die<\/span> is a great place to start.\u00a0 Here’s the skinny…<\/p>\n

\n

In crime-ravaged 1980s New York, a troubled ex-cop turned unlicensed detective takes on his most dangerous case, hunting down a serial killer-hitman, and ultimately coming face-to-face with his deadliest enemy…<\/p>\n

Matthew Scudder is dying, one bottle at a time. A young prostitute named Kim Dakkinen is dying too, her life measured out in tricks. She wanted out, had asked for Scudder’s help, but suddenly she wasn’t dying anymore, she was just dead. The former cop turned P.I. promised to protect her, but he failed. Now his atonement is to find her killer. But the secrets in the dead hooker’s past are dirtier than her living, and searching for a killer in a city where everyone’s a victim is a good way to make the role permanent.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0I’m a huge Lawrence Block fan and his Scudder novels are my favorite Block yarns.\u00a0 I’m looking forward to Snyder’s adaptation.\u00a0 If you’re still on the fence, check out this interview with Snyder<\/a> where he talks about bringing the novel to life!<\/p>\n
