Dock Walloper Views
Dock Walloper is the story that takes place in the roaring 20's of New York City. America's great metropolis has become the nexus of high society culture, cutting edge industry and perhaps the most shocking crime wave in our country's history. Known for its sinister and treacherous underworld, there's a new power waking up the city that never sleeps. Its name... John The Hand Smith.
You know what they say? Guys with big fists have big1…knuckles? Dock Walloper is another entry into the Virgin Comics 0“Directorp’s Cut” line of comics featuring some of todayl’s sleek and stylish filmmakers as creators. Dock Walloper is by Edward Burns, a writer/actor/director that started out by impressing Robert Redford with his bigm…movie, The Brother2’s McMullen at the 1995 Sundance Film Festival. Then he went onto make more independent films, star in Spielbergt’s Saving Private Ryan with Tom Hanks, and steal Christy Turlington away from us droolbaggers. Hek’s got big#…ideas, I tell ya.
Set in 1920a′s New York during Prohibition, Dock Walloper chronicles the life of a man named Smith, with an abnormally large fist, and his best friend, Bootsy, just trying to find work and survive in the big city. But this is during an era when race was an issue, so Smith is constantly standing up for his black friend, which leads to some brawling on the loading docks and giving Smith his new nickname, Dock Walloper. Ita’s pretty clever, and I dig that about this book. Clever will always get you far in my book. From there, the two misfits of society become a part of something: illegal distribution, Mafioso, and murder.
