This December, Mad Cave Studios, in partnership with STUDIOCANAL, present Escape From New York: Escape From the North Pole. From writer and radio host Fred Kennedy, fan-favorite artist Danilo Beyruth, letterer Jeff Eckleberry and covers by Adam Gorham and Ken Lashley; this standalone one-shot is one of the wildest installments yet in the beloved action franchise.

Mother Russia never forgets her children…

Hard-as-nails antihero Snake Plisskin is dragged to Camp Vincent (AKA Ellesmere Island Containment Facility), the northernmost prison in the world, after being caught smuggling contraband across the border. He’s now in the custody of the Canadian Shield, an organization tasked with patrolling the Arctic and wiping out any Soviet factions that remain following the aftermath of WWIII. Snake is an asset, and they intend to use him.

He’s given a choice: track down and rescue Soviet Geneticist Dr. Svetlana Lysenko from a Siberian Bioweapons facility where experiments have mutated into dangerous abominations, or remain on Ellesmere island… Permanently.

Escape From New York: Escape From the North Pole ($6.99, 40pgs) goes on sale December 23, 2026 (FOC November 30).
