Wizard Top Ten and multiple Eisner Award winning writer Brian K. Vaughan (Y: The Last Man, Ex Machina, Runaways) teams with critically acclaimed artists Philip Bond (Vimanarama, Vertigo Pop, Tank Girl) and Eduardo Barreto (Batman, The Long Haul) to deliver this knockout first issue!

Discovering his late father's decades spanning vault of Escapist memorabilia, Max became a fan of the Master of Elusion almost overnight.  After exhausting the extensive stash of Golden and Silver Age comics, he needs more and starts writing his own Escapist stories.  Now nineteen, he's determined to make the character a sensation once again, but where is he going to find an artist in Cleveland?  Meet Maxwell Roth and Case Weaver, latter-day versions of Joe Kavalier and Sam Clay, in part one of The Escapists!

With cover art by multi-platinum superstar Frank Miller kicking off a round-robin of stellar cover artists including James Jean and John Cassaday, this launch of the first Escapist miniseries can't be missed!
