"Out of Alcatraz" is a story based on real people, three prisoners that escaped from Alcatraz in June of 1962. However, in many ways, it felt more like they were the backdrop used to tell the story of the two individuals that were following their trail. As you my imagine, this is not completely a feel good story. In many ways, this is a story about freedom. People just wanting to be free from the prison they are in.

The artwork is incredible. The story good. I read this because I thought the escaped convicts were going to be the center of the graphic novel. Instead, they were just a tool used to tell another story. So for that part, I was a disappointed. For what it was, "Out of Alcatraz" was not bad.
