| Convicts Frank Morris and Clarence Anglin have washed ashore in San Francisco after surviving their infamous escape from Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary in June 1962. They soon meet their gruff and disappointed handler, a mysterious young woman who’s also running from something, and hope to quickly get their way north to the border – if they can even make it out of Modesto alive. As a dogged federal manhunt and chance encounters threaten the desperate convicts, everyone involved is about to discover the same bloodstained truth: life on the run is an even more hellish prison than Alcatraz could have ever been.
Pairing co-creators Christopher Cantwell – creator of critically heralded TV milestone Halt and Catch Fire and co-showrunner of The Terror’s upcoming return on AMC – and Tyler Crook – the master illustrator behind series like Harrow County with Cullen Bunn, The Unbelievable Unteens with Jeff Lemire, and his own Lonesome Hunters – together for the first time, OUT OF ALCATRAZ #1 begins a harrowing epic of killers and convicts every bit as cold as Alcatraz Island itself, as told across five, lavishly painted issues from two Eisner-nominated storytellers at the peak of their powers.
The race to escape the shadow of the world’s most infamous prison continues on April 23rd in the OUT OF ALCATRAZ #1 SECOND PRINTING and OUT OF ALCATRAZ #2 – continuing the taunt and terrifying tale of our three fugitives … and the trail of wreckage, bodies, and painful revelations they will leave in their wake.
