The Ghostbusters’ increasing notoriety is throwing them for a loop. While Trevor steadies himself by trying to plan a “friendiversary” celebration for him and Lucky, Phoebe meets someone who might be a real friend instead of just a social media follower. But friendships new and old have to take a back seat to more immediate concerns when a ghostly saber summons the ghost of Captain Kidd and threatens to transform NYC into a ghostly pirate town!
Out of Alcatraz #2 ratchets up the tension with a brand-new chapter that just goes to show: You can run from justice, but you can never escape fate . . . 1962. California. They thought escaping America’s most infamous prison would be the hard part. They were wrong. Frank, Clarence, and their secretive handler were supposed to be laying low in the farmlands north of San Francisco, but the bodies have already started piling up . . . and it’s difficult to keep a finely tuned plan in order when you’re turning on each other. Meanwhile, the FBI wants this case closed and the escapees declared dead, but one rogue US Marshal has a lurking suspicion that might just bring the full weight of history crashing down on the walking dead men who somehow made it out of Alcatraz—only to find a worse kind of hell waiting for them.

Here’s what people are saying about Out of Alcatraz:
“Out Of Alcatraz Is a crime comic straight out of a Hitchcock film… The real fate of Frank Morris and Clarence Anglin may never be truly solved, but Out of Alcatraz is poised to offer a compelling answer.”—/FILM
“Out of Alcatraz has everything I love in a crime comic: brilliantly evocative art, a wild and unpredictable cast that can’t help but screw up a ‘fool-proof’ plan, and an ever-tightening circle of Feds and bad decisions. Tight, gripping, and constantly surprising.”—Cliff Chiang, Eisner Award-winning creator of Paper Girls and Catwoman: Lonely City
“Once in a while, a story comes along that hits all the right points, with creators that seem to have been born to tell a certain story a certain way. Out of Alcatraz is one of those stories. Crook and Cantwell have crafted a comic that is thrilling, compelling, and downright beautiful. The watercolor work by Crook is utterly breathtaking and takes Cantwell’s script of unfortunate, though seemingly fated, events and brings it to jaw-dropping life. They tell it with such urgency and intention that you’d think the book itself was a sort of prison break of the soul. If it’s not clear, let me state it here unequivocally: I love this book.”—Chris Condon (That Texas Blood)
“There’s a real cinematic quality to the entire production, not unlike a David Fincher film…..Out of Alcatraz is a thrilling debut that blends the grit of crime storytelling with the intrigue of historical fiction. Cantwell and Crook deliver a cinematic, high-stakes narrative that hooks readers with its intense action, rich character dynamics, and visually striking artistry. A must-read for fans of crime comics and historical thrillers.”—AIPT Comics
“Out of Alcatraz is hard-boiled heaven. Written with intensity and flair, painted with exquisite beauty, Christopher Cantwell and Tyler Crook have created a truly remarkable comic experience. Crime, grim humor, and a vivid sense of history all come together in one of the best comics I’ve read in a very long time.”—Victor LaValle (PEN/Open Book Award-winning author of The Changeling and TheDevil in Silver)
“A pulse-pounding historical noir that plays to the strengths of two master storytellers in Cantwell and Crook. Rustic, tense, and loaded with complicated and often problematic heroes, Out of Alcatraz feels like the love child of In Cold Blood and Jim Thompson’s Pop. 1280. Bad people doing bad things is always entertaining—especially when crafted this way.”—Alex Segura, bestselling author of Secret Identity and Alter Ego
“Irresistible.”—COMIC BOOK COUPLES COUNSELING
“Now THIS is how you do California noir! A thrilling, layered, cinematic crime story that doesn’t let you take a breath!”—Spencer Ackerman, (Pulitzer-prize winning journalist, author of Reign of Terror: How The 9/11 Era Destabilized America and Produced Trump, and writer of Iron Man)
“The Rock meets Conspiracy Theory in this new limited series. With his throwback style and mostly muted color palette, Crook is the perfect artist to handle this series.”—COMICON.COM
“Out of Alcatraz by Tyler Crook and Christopher Cantwell is a high-quality crime comic—the kind of story where the wide-open spaces of the Bay Area in the ’60s radiate menace as much as they do beauty, and the people speak plainly but with a vicious threat lurking just beneath their words. It’s a thrill seeing desperate people crash into one another while claiming to be walking in step, watching violence erupt in a flash and reverberate for ages, and watching with horror as desperation leads to death.”—David Brothers (Time Waits, Mangasplaining podcast)
“Reminiscent of the original, true crime Americana In Cold Blood, Cantwell and Crook create an after-the-fact ‘what if?’ of one of the nation’s most famous prison breaks. Filled with pulp colors and textures, visceral tension and its concomitant human desperation, Out of Alcatraz is a mesmerizing trip into the deep end…of the water, of the mind, and of the human experience.”—Craig Hurd-McKenney (Station Grand, Boris Karloff Gold Key Mysteries)
“Fantastic.”—LOTUSLAND
“I can’t remember the last time a debut issue got me so invested and excited to read more. Cantwell grounds his fugitives in a world of intrigue and consequence, and no one familiar with Crook’s body of work should be surprised that he here continues to be one of the best artists and storytellers our medium has to offer.”—Chris Schweizer (Six Sidekicks of Trigger Keaton, The Crogan Adventures)
