Mad Cave has issued a continuation printing of Cover A by Stephen Mooney and can now reveal a brand-new second printing variant featuring a virgin, black-and-white edition of Nick Bradshaw’s artwork. This will go on sale on November 25, 2026, will FOC for retailers on November 2, and is now available to order (Lunar Code: 0926MA8274).

Written by Kyle Higgins (Radiant Black, No One) and illustrated by Val Rodrigues (The Pale Knight), the series sends one of pop culture’s most iconic antiheroes into an all-new adventure packed with danger, violence, and the dystopian chaos that made Escape From New York a genre-defining classic.

In Escape from New York: Escape from Chicago:

Once you go in, you don’t come out—unless your name is Snake Plissken! Plissken now survives as a coyote, smuggling people and contraband across the dangerous dead zones between prison territories like Chicago. It’s a hard and bitter job. But when he’s hired to extract a woman wanted by the city’s warlord, Snake sees one more chance at redemption—or one more chance for the universe to kick his ass.

Fans of the original Escape from New York films won’t want to miss this continuation of the beloved story. The comic series delivers high-stakes action, dystopian worldbuilding, and a return to one of science fiction’s most enduring icons.

The second printing variant cover of Escape from New York: Escape from Chicago #1 goes on sale November 25 and will retail for $4.99.
