Out of Alcatraz #2 – Eisner Award Nominees Christopher Cantwell and Tyler Crook Go on the Run!

YOU CAN RUN FROM JUSTICE…BUT YOU CAN NEVER ESCAPE FATE!! Oni Press has unveiled the first look inside of this spring’s Out of Alcatraz #2 – the next relentless installment of the New Year’s first truly MUST-READ new series from Eisner Award-nominated writer Christopher Cantwell and Russ Manning Award-winning and Eisner Award–nominated illustrator Tyler Crook!  This April, the taunt and terrifying tale of  America’s most notorious fugitives continues as they desperately race for freedom through the California countryside … leaving a trail of wreckage, bodies, and painful revelations in their wake.

1962. California. 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 thought escaping America’s most notorious 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.

Pairing co-creators Christopher Cantwell and Tyler CrookOut 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 with covers by co-creator Tyler Crook, Oliver DominguezValeria BurzoMassimo Carnevale, and Hayden Sherman.
