From the mind of three-time Eisner
Award-Winner Paul Pope comes Escapo! Like a feverish mash-up of Fellini
films, Heavy Metal magazine, and classic Jack Kirby comics, Escapo
tells the tale of a circus escape artist extraordinaire, who can escape from any
situation - even from Death himself! However, there is one force even more
powerful than the Reaper which Escapo must face. A meditation on life, love, and
mortality, Escapo is not to be missed!
Originally published in
1999 and long out of print, the new Z2 edition of Escapo is fully colored
and redesigned in the French BD format, featuring 50+ pages of bonus content.
Included here is the rare two-page alternate ending, only seen in the French
edition, as well as a new ten-page story and added pin-ups and sketchbook
content by Paul.
