Even once you’re out, there’s no escape! Oni Press – the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher of groundbreaking comics and graphic novels since 1997 – is proud to give readers an extended look inside one of 2025’s most compelling new series with Out of Alcatraz #1 – a double-sized, 48-page debut from Eisner Award–nominated writer Christopher Cantwell (Iron Man, Briar) and Russ Manning Award–winning and Eisner Award–nominated illustrator Tyler Crook (Harrow County, The Lonesome Hunters)!

Hitting comic shops everywhere on March 19th, the relentlessly paced and visually breathtaking original limited series was born from one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the 20th century: Did anyone ever escape from Alcatraz … and live to tell the tale? Discover the answers in this taut, five-issue American odyssey as it follows history’s most notorious fugitives in a desperate race for freedom through the California countryside … and leaves a trail of wreckage, bodies, and painful revelations in their wake.

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 The 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’s most infamous prison begins this March in Out of Alcatraz #1 – a double-sized, 48-page first issue featuring covers by co-creator Tyler Crook, Oliver Dominguez (Electrical Wizard), Valeria Burzo (Castle Full of Blackbirds), Massimo Carnevale (Y: The Last Man), and Hayden Sherman (Absolute Wonder Woman).

Escape was only the beginning…Find your way to freedom when Out of Alcatraz #1 arrives in comic shops everywhere this March!
