From Prison Break to Bloodbath in Out of Alcatraz #2

Welcome to the second issue of Out of Alcatraz.

From the twisted minds of Eisner-nominated heavyweights Christopher Cantwell (Plastic Man No More!) and Tyler Crook (Harrow County), 2025’s white-knuckle, nerve-shredding chapter cranks the dial to "hellbound." Proving once and for all: you can dodge justice, but fate’s got a bullet with your name on it.

Welcome to 1962, California - where breaking out of America’s most notorious lockup was only act one. Frank, Clarence, and their shadowy puppet master thought they’d outsmarted the system, hiding out in the farmlands north of San Francisco. But as corpses stack like cordwood and paranoia runs hotter than a prison riot, their so-called plan is going up in smoke.

On their tail? A relentless FBI eager to slap a bow on this mess and write it off as "case closed." But one rogue U.S. Marshal smells something rotten in the narrative - and his hunch could drag these dead men walking straight into a darker fate than any prison cell.

Turns out, freedom comes with a heavy price tag. And the devil’s already collecting.
