Out Of Alcatraz #2 Official Synopsis:

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.

“In Issue #2 of OUT OF ALCATRAZ, we pick up with two fugitives who now feel invisible, caught in limbo between the world of the incarcerated and the free, the dead and the living,” said writer Christopher Cantwell. “Yes, Frank and Clarence have escaped, but without two of the men that were supposed to come with them. And now there have been further violent—murderous—complications. It’s time to move North, to try and stick to a plan that is rapidly eroding into chaos, but what waits for them in Redding, California are more unknowns, and more men with guns. And when their desperation to really experience their hard-won freedom backfires, they end up superheating their own trail of escape, and find themselves prisoners of a different kind—ones blackmailed to do dirty work worse than either of the rap sheets than landed them in Alcatraz in the first place.”
