OUT OF ALCATRAZ #4 EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK – THE HEAT IS ON

Freedom can be a worse prison than an actual jail cell.

Three issues in and readers have been caught up in one of 2025’s most talked about series! In 1962, Frank Morris and Clarence Anglin pulled off the impossible. They have escaped from Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary. One would think that pulling off such a feat would pave the way for a fresh start. Unfortunately for the convicts, it resulted in more trouble than they could ever realize.

The journey has pinned a direct bullseye on their heads. They’ve drawn a lot of attention that they weren’t expecting. With the feds trying to tie up this loose end, the pair is staying at arms length away. A mysterious contact is helping with their escape but is there really honor amongst thieves?

Christopher Cantwell and Tyler Crook‘s compelling story that doesn’t shy away from their true nature. These are not good people. They are criminals. Readers have seen the gritty and blunt portrayal keep escalating to a fever pitch. Now heading into the pen-ultimate chapter, the stakes have never been higher. There is no turning back now!
