SNAKE PLISSKEN CHRONICLES #1 COMIC BOOK!
SEQUEL TO JOHN CARPENTER'S ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK
OUT OF PRINT. HARD TO FIND FIRST ISSUE COLLECTORS ITEMS FOR THE FANS OF THE SCIENCE FICTION FILM SERIES!
PUBLISHED BY CROSSGEN in 2003.
Snake Is Back! And he's kicking some major @$$! After his little trouble in the Big Apple, and a full presidential pardon, Snake Plissken is ready for some real action. He finds some in Atlantic City, in what can only be described as the ultimate car boost. A car worth 30 million dollars! Chaos is the play of the day, a double cross is always just around the corner, and everyone will soon learn... you never turn your back on a snake.
Snake Plissken, the bitter and cynical anti-hero that achieved a cult following from the films "Escape from New York" and "Escape from LA", now has his own ongoing series. Unlike many licensed properties, the creators of the comic adaption of Snake's adventures worked hand in hand with director John Carpenter and actor Kurt Russell who played Snake Plissken in the movies to keep the stories and character true to the movies. Additionally, the artwork is great and the likeness of Snake to Kurt Russell is spot on.
Set in a nightmarish future America where liberty, law and order, and the government have long since crumbled, Snake holds onto some of the ideals of the past while trying to make his own path in a world that fears and despises him. Whether you've seen one, both or neither of the movies featuring Snake Plissken, this is an entertaining read for fans of action, gritty drama and dark comedy.
The series starts with Snake on his way to Atlantic City for a major score. If he can navigate his way safely there through ambushes of biker gangs, he'll then be able to make contact with one of the few people Snake calls friend. Of course that where the real action starts, as Snake blasts, punches and kicks his way through one bad guy after another, all of whom want to take him down. As usual, things get worse and worse for Snake Plissken, but that's the way he expects life to be, and he's ready for it.
Featuring Lavish Full Color Artwork, printed on High Quality Glossy Paper.
