The stories and art within are by amazing talent like Brian K. This volume also contains the adventures of the Escapist's associate, Luna Moth. As the history of his creators, Joe Kavalier and Sam Clay, was chronicled in The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, now a multitude of the Escapist's adventures are collected here, along with the patchwork publishing history of the character.

From preventing a prison break and attack on Empire City, to facing a demonic horde in Japan, to crushing a galactic takeover in the year 2966, and to surfacing a sunken submarine from 300 fathoms, the Escapist brings hope and liberation. They roam the globe, performing amazing feats to foil diabolical evildoers. The Escapist and his associates are heroes to all who languish in oppression's chains. This anthology is a collection of the hero's history and his exploits, created by an all-star cast of comic book luminaries.

In the fictional world of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, the Escapist-the epitome of Golden Age superhero-was conceived.
